Detailed Solution

Given a square of side 8 cm and isosceles triangle with perimeter 18 cm.
Assume, equal side of the isosceles triangle = x.
As, the base of isosceles triangle is on a square of side 8 cm, therefore, base = 8 cm.
Perimeter of square is sum of all sides.
The perimeter is,
x+x+8=18  
2x+8=18  
2x=188  
2x=10  
x= 10 2  
x=5  
Height of the triangle is,
h= side 2 base 2 h= 5 2 4 2  
h= 2516  
h= 9  
h=3  
The area of the figure formed is,
A= 1 2 ×base×height+sid e 2 A= 1 2 ×8×3+ 8 2  
A=4×3+64  
A=12+64  
A=76c m 2  
Therefore, the area is 76c m 2  .
Hence, option 3 is correct.
