Consider four triangles having sides (5,12,9),(5,12,11),(5,12,13) and (5,12,15) . Among these, the triangle having maximum areahas sides
Options
- A(5,12,9)
- B(5,12,11)
- C(5,12,13)
- D(5,12,15)
Correct answer
C. (5,12,13)
Step-by-step solution
Clearly area of having sides (5,12,13) is greatest (use = s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)
