Let the length of the smallest side = x According to the statement, other two sides of the triangle will be x + 4 and 2x - 6 Perimeter of triangle = x + x + 4 + 2x - 6 ⇒ 50 = 4x - 2 ⇒ 4x = 52 ⇒ x = 13 ∴ Sides of triangle are = 13, (13 + 4), (2 x 13 - 6) = 13 cm, 17 cm, 20 cm Let, a = 13 cm, b = 17 cm and c = 20 cm ∴ s = (a + b + c)/2 = (13 + 17 + 20)/2 = 25 cm ∴ Area of △ = root under( √(s - a)(s - b)(s -c)) = root under( √25(25 -13) (25 -17) (25 - 20) = root under( √25 x 12 x 8 x 5) = root under( √5 x 5 x 3 x 4 x 4 x 2 x 5) = 20 √30 = 20 x 5.48 = 109.6 cm2
