If one side of a triangle is 7 with its perimeter equal to 18, and area equal to then the other two sides are:
A.
6 and 5
B.
3.5 and 7.5
C.
7 and 4
D.
3 and 8
AnswerAnswer: Option D
Solution
Answer: Option D
Solution:

a = 7 cm
2S = a + b + c = 18
S = 9 cm
a + b + c = 18
7 + b + c = 18
b + c = 11
b = 11 - c
6 = 9C - C2 - 18 + 2C
24 = C2 + 11C
C2 - 11C + 24 = 0
C2 - 8C - 3C + 24 = 0
C(C - 8) - 3(C - 8) = 0
(C - 3)(C - 8) = 0
C = 3, 8
B = 8, 3
Side = 3, 8
