Correct Answer: $12 \sqrt{5} \;\mathrm{Sq} . \mathrm{cm}$
Solution : Using the formula: $s = \frac{(a + b + c)}{2}$ $s = \frac{(7 + 9 + 8)}{2}$ $s = \frac{24}{2}$ $s = 12$ cm Now, plug the values of a, b, c, and s into Heron's formula to find the area of the triangle: $\sqrt{(s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c))}$ $=\sqrt{(12(12 - 7)(12 - 9)(12 - 8))}$ $=\sqrt{(12 × 5 × 3 × 4)}$ $=12\sqrt{5}$ Sq. cm Therefore, the area of the triangle with side lengths 7 cm, 9 cm, and 8 cm is approximately $12\sqrt{5}$ Sq. cm Hence, the correct answer is $12 \sqrt{5} \;\mathrm{Sq}. \mathrm{cm}$.
