    The base of an isosceles triangle measures 24 cm and its area is\[192\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}.\] Find its perimeter.

    A)  64 cm                         

    B)         46 cm             

    C)         84 cm                         

    D)         54 cm

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let the other two equal sides of an isosceles triangle be a cm. Then, \[s=\frac{a+a+24}{2}=(a+12)\,cm\] Area of triangle \[=192\,c{{m}^{2}}=192\,c{{m}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\sqrt{(a+12)(a+12-a)(a+12-a)(a+12-24)}=192\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[144({{a}^{2}}-144)={{(192)}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{a}^{2}}=400\Rightarrow a=20\,cm\] \[\therefore \]Perimeter = 20 + 20 + 24 = 64 cm
