Answer:

Correct Answer: 7. 4 sq units

Solution:

  1. Given,

Δ14(a+b+c)abc

14Δ(a+b+c)abc1(a+b+c)abc16Δ212sabc16Δ21sabc8s(sa)(sb)(sc)1abc8(sa)(sb)(sc)1abc8(sa)(sb)(sc)

Now, put sa=x0,sb=y0,sc=z0

sa+sb=x+y2sab=x+yc=x+y

Similarly, a=y+z,b=x+z

(x+y)2(y+z)2(x+z)2xyz

which it true.

Now, equality will hold, if x=y=z

a=b=c

Triangle is equilateral.
