  1. ABCD is a square, F is mid point of AB and E is a point on BC such that BE is one-third of BC. If area of ∆FBE = 108 m2, then the length of AC is:
    1. 63 m
    2. 36√2 m
    3. 63√2 m
    4. 72√2 m
    5. None of these
Correct Option: B

ABCD is a square . Let, the side of the square be 6L.
Given:- area of ∆FBE = 108 m2
In ∆FBE ,

Then , Area of triangle = 1× base × height
2

Area of triangle = 1× 3L × 2L = 108 ⇒ 3L2 = 36 ⇒ L = 6 m
2

∴ Side of the square = 6 x 6 = 36 m
⇒ AC2 = AD2 + DC2 = (36)2 + (36)2 = 2 × (36)2
⇒ AC = 36√2.
