Solution

The correct option is B

60.47 cm2


Draw CD perpendicular to AB extended to D.

Let BD=x & CD=h

CBD=(180110)=70

In Triangle CBD

Tan 70=CDBD=hx

h=x Tan 70

h=2.75x ...(i)

In triangle ACD

Tan 40=CDAD=h(10+x)

h=(10+x) Tan 40

h=(10+x).0.84

h=8.4+0.84 x ...(ii)

From (i) & (ii) we have

2.75 x=8.4+0.84 x

1.91 x=8.4

x=4.39 cm

h=2.75 x From (i)

h=2.75×4.39

h=12.09 cm

Area of triangle =12×AB×h

=12×10×12.09

=60.47 cm2
