Correct Answer: $10 \sqrt{2}$ m 2


Solution : Perimeter = 20 m
Two sides are 5 m and 6 m.
Third side = 20 – 5 – 6 = 9 m
Semi perimeter, $ s = \frac{a+b+c}{2} = \frac{20}{2} = 10$
Area of triangle $= \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}$
$= \sqrt{10(10-5)(10-6)(10-9)}$
$= \sqrt{10×5×4}$
$=\sqrt{200}$
$=10 \sqrt{2}$ m 2
Hence, the correct answer is $10 \sqrt{2}$ m 2 .
