    The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 32 cm. The ratio of one of the equal sides to its base is 3 : 2. Find the area of the triangle.

    A) \[48\,c{{m}^{2}}\]                  

    B) \[28\sqrt{3}\,c{{m}^{2}}\]       

    C) \[32\sqrt{2}\,c{{m}^{2}}\]       

    D)        \[44\,c{{m}^{2}}\]      

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Perimeter = 32 cm Let one of the equal sides be \[3x\]and other be \[2x\] \[\therefore \]\[3x+3x+2x=32\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[8x=32\Rightarrow x=4\] Sides of isosceles triangles are 12 cm, 12cm, 8 cm \[\therefore \]\[s=\frac{32}{2}=16\,cm\] Area \[=\sqrt{16\times 4\times 4\times 8}=32\sqrt{2}\,c{{m}^{2}}\]
