If three sides of a triangle are 6 cm, 8 cm and 10 cm, then the area of the triangle is:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 24 cm2.
Given that, three sides of the triangle are 6 cm, 8 cm and 10 cm.
The given measure of sides are triplets, i.e.,
62 + 82 = 102
So, the given triangle is a right angled triangle.
Area of right angled triangle = ½ × P × B
⇒ ½ × 6 × 8 = 24 cm2
