    The area of a triangle, two sides of which are 8 cm and 11 cm and the perimeter is 32 cm is \[k\sqrt{30}\,c{{m}^{2}}.\] Find the value of k.

    A)  8          

    B)         6                                

    C)         7                                

    D)         9

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       Here we have perimeter of the triangle = 32 cm Let a = 8 cm and b = 11 cm Third side, \[c=32-(8+11)=13\,cm\] \[\therefore \]    \[s=\frac{32}{2}=16\,cm\] Therefore, area of the triangle \[=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}\] \[=\sqrt{16\times 8\times 5\times 3}\,c{{m}^{2}}\] \[=80\sqrt{30}\,c{{m}^{2}}=k\sqrt{30}\,c{{m}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \]\[k\sqrt{30}=8\sqrt{30}\Rightarrow k=8\]
