Correct Answer: 216


Solution : Diagonal of square = $9 \sqrt{2}$ cm
Now, $\sqrt 2$ × side of square = $9 \sqrt{2}$
⇒ Side of square = 9 cm
So, the perimeter of square = 4 × 9 = 36 cm
Base of triangle, $b$ = 36 cm
Area of square = 144 cm 2
Also, the side of square = $\sqrt{144}$ = 12 cm
Height of the triangle, $h$ = 12 cm
Now, the area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2}×b×h$
= $\frac{1}{2} × 12 × 36$
= 216 cm 2
Hence, the correct answer is 216.
