    The difference between the semi-perimeter and the sides of a \[\Delta ABC\] are 8 cm, 7 cm and 5 cm respectively. The area of the triangle is____.

    A) \[20\sqrt{7}\,c{{m}^{2}}\]       

    B) \[10\sqrt{14}\,c{{m}^{2}}\]     

    C) \[20\sqrt{14}\,c{{m}^{2}}\]     

    D) \[140\,c{{m}^{2}}\]    

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let the sides of \[\Delta \Alpha \Beta C\]be a, b, c Then, \[(s-a)=8,(s-b)=7\]and \[(s-c)=5\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[(s-a)+(s-b)+(s-c)=20\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[(s-a)+(s-b)+(s-c)=20\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[3s-(a+b+c)=20\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[3s-2s=20\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[s=20\]                \[\left[ \because \,s=\frac{a+b+c}{2} \right]\] \[\therefore \]Area of \[\Delta \Alpha \Beta C=\sqrt{20\times 8\times 7\times 5}\] \[=\sqrt{5600}\,c{{m}^{2}}=20\sqrt{14}\,c{{m}^{2}}\]
