The perimeter of a triangle is 28 cm and the inradius of the triangle is 2.5 cm. What is the area of the triangle?

  • A.25 cm²
  • B.42 cm²
  • C.70 cm²
  • D.None of these

Answer: D

The inradius relates the area to the semi-perimeter:

\[ A = r \times s, \qquad s = \frac{28}{2} = 14 \]

\[ A = 2.5 \times 14 = 35 \text{ cm}^{2} \]

35 cm² is not among the choices, so the answer is none of these. The 70 cm² on offer comes from using the full perimeter instead of the semi-perimeter.
