Correct Answer: 12 cm
Solution : Let the sides be $3k$, $3k$, and $4k$. So, semi perimeter, $s = \frac{a+b+c}{2}$ = $\frac{3k+3k+4k}{2}=\frac{10k}{2}={5k}$ Now, $A = \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}$ ⇒ 32$\sqrt{5}$ = $\sqrt{5k(5k - 3k)(5k - 3k)(5k - 4k)}$ ⇒ 32$\sqrt{5}$ = $\sqrt{5k(2k)(2k)( k)}$ ⇒ 32$\sqrt{5}$ = $\sqrt{20k^4}$ ⇒ (32$\sqrt{5})^2$ = ${20k^4}$ ⇒ 1024 × 5 = ${20k^4}$ ⇒ 5120 = ${20k^4}$ ⇒ ${k^4}$ = 256 ⇒ $k$ = 4 Length of equal sides $=3k= 3×4=12$ cm Therefore, the length of each of the equal sides is 12 cm. Hence, the correct answer is 12 cm.
