Question

    The lengths of three medians in a triangles are 30 cm,

    40 cm, 50 cm. What is the area of that traingle (in cm 2 )?
    A 512 cm² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 392 cm² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 648 cm² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 800 cm² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Here s = (a+ b+ c )/2 = (30 + 40 + 50) /2 = 120/2 = 60 cm If a, b & c are medians of any triangle , then area of the triangle = 4/3 √(s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)) = 4/3 √(60(60 - 30)(60 - 40)(60 - 50)) = 4/3 √(60 × 30 × 20 × 10) = (4/3) × 600 = 800 cm²
