Question : A string of length 24 cm is bent first into a square and then into a right-angled by keeping one side of the square fixed as its base. Then the area of a triangle equals to:
Option 1: 24 cm2
Option 2: 60 cm2
Option 3: 40 cm2
Option 4: 28 cm2
Correct Answer: 24 cm2
Solution : The side of the square = $\frac{24}{4}$ = 6 cm The base of the triangle is 6 cm. The perimeter of the triangle is 24 cm. Using the Pythagoras triplets (i.e. 6, 8, and 10). So, the height of the triangle is 8 cm. The area of a triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 6 cm × 8 cm Hence, the correct answer is 24 cm2.
