उत्तर
This statement is True.
Explanation:
Since the sides of a triangle are a = 11 cm, b = 12 cm and c = 13 cm.
Now, semi-perimeter, `s = (a + b + c)/2`
= `(11 + 12 + 13)/2`
= `36/2`
= 18 cm
Area of a triangle = `sqrt(s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c))` ...[By Heron’s formula]
= `sqrt(18(18 - 11)(18 - 12)(18 - 13))`
= `sqrt(18 xx 7 xx 6 xx 5)`
= `sqrt(3 xx 6 xx 7 xx 6 xx 5)`
= `6sqrt(3 xx 7 xx 5)`
= `6sqrt(105)`
= 6 × 10.25
= 61.5 cm2
∴ Area of ΔABC = `1/2 xx BC xx AD` ...`[∵ "Area of triangle" = 1/2 ("base" xx "height")]`
= `1/2 xx 12 xx 10.25`
= 6 × 10.25
= 61.5 cm2
