Question : The sides of a triangle are 8 cm, 12 cm, and 16 cm. What is the area of the triangle?
Option 1: $24 \sqrt{15}~\text{cm}^2$
Option 2: $6 \sqrt{15}~\text{cm}^2$
Option 3: $8 \sqrt{15}~\text{cm}^2$
Option 4: $12 \sqrt{15}~\text{cm}^2$
Correct Answer: $12 \sqrt{15}~\text{cm}^2$
Solution : The sides of the triangle are 8 cm, 12 cm, and 16 cm. Semi perimeter = $\frac{8+12+16}{2}$ = 18 Area of the triangle = $\sqrt{18×(18 - 8)×(18 - 12)×(18 -16)}$ = $\sqrt{18×10×6×2}$ = $\sqrt{2160}$ = $12\sqrt{15}\ \text{cm}^2$ Hence, the correct answer is $12\sqrt{15}~\text{cm}^2$.
