The perimeter of a triangle is 16 ~cm , one of the sides is of length 6 ~cm . If the area of the triangle is 12 sq cm . Then the triangle is
Options
- Aright angled
- Bisosceles
- Cequilateral
- Dscalene
Correct answer
B. isosceles
Step-by-step solution
Given that aligned & 2 s=16 s=8 ~cm & 2 s=a+b+c, a=6 ~cm , =12 & ^2=s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) & 144=8(8-6)(8-b)(8-c) & [ array r a+b+c=16 b+c=10 b=10-c array ] & 18=2(8-b)(8-c) & 18=2(8-10+c)(8-c) & 9=(-2+c)(8-c) & 9=-16+10 c-c^2 c^2-10 c+25=0 & (c-5)^2=0 & c=5 & aligned Then, b=10-5=5 b=c Therefore, triangle is isosceles.
