    D 145 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Since, the sides of the triangle are in ratio 7:24:25, the given triangle is a right-angled triangle.

    Let the three sides of the triangle be '7x' cm, '24x' cm and '25x' cm, respectively.

    So, area of the triangle = (1/2) × (7x) × 24x = 336

    Or, 84x² = 336

    Or, x² = 4

    So, x = ±2

    Since, length of side cannot be negative, x = 2

    So, required perimeter = 2 × (7 + 24 + 25) = 2 × 56 = 112 cm
