Solution

The correct option is A 12
$Semi-perimeter of a triangle, s = \frac{a + b + c}{2}$
where a, b and c are the sides of the triangle.
$s = \frac{7 + 8 + 9}{2} = \frac{24}{2} = 12 m$
$Area of a triangle, A =$
$\sqrt{s (s - a) (s - b) (s - c)}$
$= \sqrt{(12) (12 - 7) (12 - 8) (12 - 9)}$
$= \sqrt{(12) (5) (4) (3)} = 12 \sqrt{5} m^{2}$
