Given that, a = 6 cm, b = 4 cm and c = 5 cm
Required perimeter = a + b + cCorrect Option: D
Given that, a = 6 cm, b = 4 cm and c = 5 cm
Required perimeter = a + b + c
= 6 + 4 + 5 cm
= 15 cm

Given that, a = 8 cm, b = 10 cm and c = 12 cm
We know, that
s = (a + b + c)/2
Area = √s(s - a) (s - b) (s - c)Correct Option: B
Given that, a = 8 cm, b = 10 cm and c = 12 cm
We know, that
s = (a + b + c)/2
= (8 + 10 + 12)/2
= 30/2 = 15 cm
∴ (s - a) = (15 - 8) = 7 cm
(s - b) = (15 - 10) = 5 cm
(s - c) = (15 - 12) = 3 cm
∴ Area = √s(s - a) (s - b) (s - c)
= √15 x 7 x 5 x 3
= √1575
= √25 x 63
= 5√63 cm

Req. Area = √3/4 x a2
Correct Option: B
Req. Area = √3/4 x a2 = √3/4 x 82 cm2
= 16√3 cm2

Area of equilateral triangle = √3/4 a2 = 4√3.
Correct Option: D
Area of equilateral triangle = √3/4 a2 = 4√3.
⇒ a2 = 16
∴ a = 4 cm

Area = 1/2 hectare = 10000 / 2 m2
= 5000 m2
Again Area = 1/2 x (Diagonal)2Correct Option: B
Area = 1/2 hectare = 10000 / 2 m2
= 5000 m2
Again Area = 1/2 x (Diagonal)2
So 1/2 x (Diagonal)2 = 5000m2
⇒ Diagonal2= 10000
∴ Diagonal = 100
