  • Question
  • Find the area of a triangle whose sides measure 8 cm, 10 cm and 12 cm.


  • Options
  • A. 8?63 sq cm
  • B. 5?63 sq cm
  • C. 6?53 sq cm
  • D. 7?93 sq cm

  • Correct Answer
  • 5?63 sq cm 

    Explanation

    Given that, a = 8 cm, b = 10 cm and c = 12 cm

    We know, that
    s = (a + b + c)/2
    = (8 + 10 + 12)/2
    = 30/2 = 15 cm

    ? (s - a) = (15 - 8) = 7 cm
    (s - b) = (15 - 10) = 5 cm
    (s - c) = (15 - 12) = 3 cm

    ? Area = ?s(s - a) (s - b) (s - c)
    = ?15 x 7 x 5 x 3
    = ?1575
    = ?25 x 63
    = 5?63 cm
