Correct Answer: 1250
Solution :
The area of a right-angled triangle, $\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times\mathrm{base} \times\mathrm{height}$ Given that one of the angles is 15º. $\mathrm{AB=AC \sin15^\circ}$ $\mathrm{BC=AC \cos15^\circ}$ ⇒ $\text{Area} = \mathrm{\frac{1}{2} \times AC \sin15^\circ \times AC \cos15^\circ}$ ⇒ $\text{Area} =\mathrm{ \frac{1}{4} \times AC^2 \times2 \times \sin( 15^\circ)\times \cos( 15^\circ)}$ ⇒ $\text{Area} =\mathrm{ \frac{1}{4} \times (100 \; \text{cm})^2 \times \sin(30^\circ)}$ ⇒ $\text{Area} =\mathrm{ \frac{1}{4} \times 10000 \; \text{sq. cm} \times \frac{1}{2}}$ ⇒ $\text{Area} = 1250 \; \text{sq. cm}$ Hence, the correct answer is 1250.
