    The area of the triangle whose sides are 6, 5, \[\sqrt{13}\](in square units) is

    A)  \[5\sqrt{2}\]                     

    B)         9

    C)  \[6\sqrt{2}\]                     

    D)         11

    E)  \[13\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let        \[a=6,b=5,c=\sqrt{13}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\cos C=\frac{{{6}^{2}}+{{5}^{2}}-13}{2\times 6\times 5}=\frac{48}{2\times 6\times 5}\]                 \[=\frac{4}{5}\] Now,     \[\sin C=\sqrt{1-\frac{16}{25}}=\frac{3}{5}\] \[\therefore \]Area of \[\Delta ABC=\frac{1}{2}ab\,\sin C\]                                 \[=\frac{1}{2}\times 6\times 5\times \frac{3}{5}=9\,sq\,unit\]
