Question : Find the area of triangle whose sides are 10 cm, 12 cm, and 18 cm.
Option 1: $22 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~cm}^2$
Option 2: $30 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~cm}^2$
Option 3: $28 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~cm}^2$
Option 4: $40 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~cm}^2$
Correct Answer: $40 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~cm}^2$
Solution : The area of a triangle by Heron's formula = $\sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}$ where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are the sides of the triangle, and $s$ is the semi-perimeter of the triangle. Now, $s = \frac{a + b + c}{2}= \frac{10 + 12 + 18}{2} = 20$ So, the area $=\sqrt{20(20 - 10)(20 - 12)(20 - 18)} = \sqrt{20 \times 10 \times 8 \times 2} = 40 \sqrt{2} \text{ cm}^2$ Hence, the correct answer is $40 \sqrt{2} \text{ cm}^2$.
