Correct Answer: 924.5
Solution :
The perimeter of the square = 172 cm
If a is the length of the side of the square then,
4a = 172
$\therefore$ a = $\frac{172}{4}$ = 43 cm
Now, area of square = a
2
= (43)
2
Given: Area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$ × a
2
$\therefore$ Area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 43
2
= 924.5 cm
2
Hence, the correct answer is 924.5.
