  1. Perimeter of isosceles triangle=30cm

    Length of equal sides=12cm

    Let third side of triangle=xcm

    According to problem,

    x+12+12=30

    x+24=30

    x=30−24

    x=6

    ∴ Third side of triangle=6cm

    Using Heron’s formula

    [tex]area \: of \: traingle = \sqrt{s(s – a)(s – b)(s – c)} sq \: units[/tex]

    where a+b+c/2

    s = 30 / 2 = 15

    [tex]area \: of \: triangle \: \sqrt{15(15 – 12)(15 – 12)(15 – 6)cm } \\ \sqrt{15 \times 3 \times 3 \times 9cm ^{2} } \\ 3 \times 3 \times \sqrt{15cm^{2} } \\ = 9 \sqrt{15cm ^{2} } \\ area \: of \: triangle \: = 9 \sqrt{15cm ^{2} } [/tex]
