In a triangle ABC with usual notations if b C(b C+c B)=42 , then area of triangle A B C=
Options
- A42 sq.units
- B21 sq.units
- C24 sq.units
- D12 sq.units
Correct answer
B. 21 sq.units
Step-by-step solution
The expression b C(b C + c B) = 42 can be rewritten using the projection rule a = b C + c B , yielding ab C = 42 . The area of the triangle is given by = 1 2 ab C , so substituting yields = 1 2 42 = 21 . The area is therefore 21 square units .
