    Find the area of a triangle whose sides are 9 cm, 12 cm and 15 cm.

    A) \[51\text{ }c{{m}^{3}}\]                     

    B) \[52\text{ }c{{m}^{3}}\]

    C) \[53\text{ }c{{m}^{4}}\]                     

    D) \[54\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}\]

    E) None of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Explanation                               Here, \[\operatorname{a} = 9 cm, b = 12 cm \,and \,c = 15 cm\] \[\therefore \,\,s=\frac{a+b+c}{2}\,\,=\,\,\frac{9+12+15}{2}=\frac{36}{2}=18\] \[Area\,\,=\,\,\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}\] \[=\,\,\,\sqrt{18(18-9)(18-12)(18-15)}\] \[=\,\,\,\sqrt{18\times 9\times 6\times 3}\,\,=\,\,54c{{m}^{2}}.\]
