Solution

Answer Key

1) Semi perimeter of triangle is 22 cm.

2) The triangle is an acute angled triangle.

3)  Hence, base = 8 cm or 6 cm.

4)  Hence, the side of the triangle is 6 cm.

5)  (b) is correct.

6)  The semi perimeter of given triangle is 3k.

7)  The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 24 cm.

8)  Hypotenuse = √32 cm

9)  2.16
