If the sides of a triangle are three consecutive natural numbers and its largest angle is twice the smallest one, then the area (in sq. units) of that triangle is

  1. A 6
  2. B \(\frac{15}{4} \sqrt{7}\)
  3. C \(\frac{18}{5} \sqrt{7}\)
  4. D \(\frac{14}{3} \sqrt{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{15}{4} \sqrt{7}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let three sides are \(x-1, x, x+1\). Given, largest angle is twice the smallest angle \(\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad \cos \theta & =\frac{(x+1)^2+(x)^2-(x-1)^2}{2 x(x+1)} \\ & =\frac{x^2+2 x+1+x^2-x^2+2 x-1}{2 x(x+1)} \end{aligned}\)…
