Correct Answer: $32 \ cm^2$
Solution : Given: In a triangle ${ABC}, {AB}={AC}$ and the perimeter of $\triangle {ABC}$ is $8(2+\sqrt{2}) $ cm. The length of ${BC}$ is $\sqrt{2}$ times the length of ${AB}$. Let the sides $AB=AC=x$ cm. ⇒ $BC=\sqrt2x$ cm The perimeter of the triangle, $x+x+\sqrt2x=8(2+\sqrt2)$ ⇒ $x(2+\sqrt2)=8(2+\sqrt2)$ ⇒ $x=8$ cm The sides $AB=AC=8$ cm and $BC=8\sqrt2$ cm. So, these are the sides of a right-angle triangle. ⇒Area of the triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$ × Base × Height = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 8 × 8 = $32 \ cm^2$ Hence, the correct answer is $32 \ cm^2$.
