Correct Answer: 84 sq. cm
Solution : Given: AB + BC + CA = 24 cm Let the incentre of the circle be O. So, OD = OE = OF = radius Now, $2\pi r = 44$ ⇒ $2\times \frac{22}{7}\times r = 44$ ⇒ $r=7$ $\text{Area of} \triangle ABC = \text{Area of} \triangle AOB +\text{Area of} \triangle AOC+\text{Area of}\triangle BOC$ $=\frac{1}{2}\times AB \times OF+\frac{1}{2}\times AC \times OE+\frac{1}{2}\times BC \times OD$ $=\frac{1}{2}\times OF(AB+BC+CA)$ $=\frac{1}{2}\times 7\times 24$ [$\because$ OD = OE = OF = radius = 7 cm] $= 84$ sq. cm Hence, the correct answer is 84 sq. cm.
