Question:

If the perimeter of an isosceles right triangle is (18\(\sqrt {2}\) + 18) cm, then the area of the triangle is?

Options:

64

71

81

88

Correct Answer:

81

Explanation:

2a + \(\sqrt {2}\)a = 18 + 18\(\sqrt {2}\)

\(\sqrt {2}\)a(\(\sqrt {2}\) + 1) = 18 (\(\sqrt {2}\) + 1)

a = 9\(\sqrt {2}\)

area of triangle = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × b × h = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 9\(\sqrt {2}\) × 9\(\sqrt {2}\) = 81 cm2
