The sides of a triangular board are 13 meters, 14 meters and 15 meters. The cost of paining it at the rate of Rs. 8.75 per m 2 is?

Correct Answer: Rs. 735

Explanation:

s = (13 + 14 + 15 ) / 2 = 21,
s-a = 8 ,
s-b = 7,
s-c= 6
∴ Area to be painted = √ [s(s-a) (s-b) (s-c)]
=√ [21 x 8 x 7 x 6] m2
= 84 m2
∴ Cost of painting = Rs. (84 x 8.75) = Rs. 735
