The area of an isosceles triangle can be found using the formula:
Area = (base * height) / 2
In this case, the base is the side that is 6cm long, and the height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the vertex of the triangle.
Since the triangle is isosceles, the height bisects the base and divides it into two equal parts.
Therefore, each part of the base is 6cm / 2 = 3cm.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the height:
(12cm)^2 = (3cm)^2 + height^2
144cm^2 = 9cm^2 + height^2
height^2 = 144cm^2 - 9cm^2
height^2 = 135cm^2
height = sqrt(135cm^2)
height = 11.61cm
Substituting the values into the formula:
Area = (6cm * 11.61cm) / 2 = 69.66cm^2
Therefore, the area of the isosceles triangle is approximately 69.66cm^2.
So the correct answer would be:
b) 69.66cm^2
Area = (base * height) / 2
In this case, the base is the side that is 6cm long, and the height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the vertex of the triangle.
Since the triangle is isosceles, the height bisects the base and divides it into two equal parts.
Therefore, each part of the base is 6cm / 2 = 3cm.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the height:
(12cm)^2 = (3cm)^2 + height^2
144cm^2 = 9cm^2 + height^2
height^2 = 144cm^2 - 9cm^2
height^2 = 135cm^2
height = sqrt(135cm^2)
height = 11.61cm
Substituting the values into the formula:
Area = (6cm * 11.61cm) / 2 = 69.66cm^2
Therefore, the area of the isosceles triangle is approximately 69.66cm^2.
So the correct answer would be:
b) 69.66cm^2

Understanding Area of a Triangle
The area of a triangle is given by the formula:
Area = 1/2 * base * height.
When the lengths of the sides of a triangle are multiplied by a factor, the area changes based on the square of that factor.
Effect of Scaling on Area
- If each side of the triangle is multiplied by 3, the new lengths become 3 times the original lengths.
- The new area can be calculated as:
New Area = 1/2 * (3 * base) * (3 * height) = 9 * (1/2 * base * height) = 9 * Original Area.
Calculating the Percentage Increase
- The increase in area can be determined as follows:
Increase in Area = New Area - Original Area = 9 * Original Area - Original Area = 8 * Original Area.
- To find the percentage increase, we use the formula:
Percentage Increase = (Increase in Area / Original Area) * 100.
- Substituting the values, we get:
Percentage Increase = (8 * Original Area / Original Area) * 100 = 800%.
Final Conclusion
Thus, when the length of each side of a triangle is multiplied by 3, the area increases by 800%. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B'.

Given, the side of an equilateral triangle = 2√3 cm
We have to find the area of the equilateral triangle.
Area of an equilateral triangle = √3/4 (side)²
= √3/4 (2√3)²
= √3/4 (4 × 3)
= 3√3
Consider √3 = 1.732
= 3 × 1.732
= 5.196 cm²
Therefore, the area of an equilateral triangle is 5.196 cm²
We have to find the area of the equilateral triangle.
Area of an equilateral triangle = √3/4 (side)²
= √3/4 (2√3)²
= √3/4 (4 × 3)
= 3√3
Consider √3 = 1.732
= 3 × 1.732
= 5.196 cm²
Therefore, the area of an equilateral triangle is 5.196 cm²

Area of square = a2
Area of rhombus = a2 sin θ
∵ sin θ < 1
∴ a2 > a2 sin θ
ar (square) > ar (rhombus)
⇒ S > R

AE = x, FB = (17 – x) cm.From ∆AED, and ∆CFB
CF2 = DE2
⇒ (26)2 – (17 – x)2 = (25)2 – (x)2
⇒ (26)2 – (25)2 = (17 – x)2 – (x)2
⇒ (26 – 25) (26 + 25) = (17 – x + x) (17 – x – x)
⇒ 51 = 17 (17 – 2x)
⇒ 17 – 2x = 3
⇒ 2x = 14 ⇒ x = 7cm.
∴ area = 
= 137 × 12 cm2 = 1644 cm2
