If the base of triangle PQR is 5, what is the perimeter of the triangle?
Let Base = PQ,
(1) The area of triangle PQR is 12.5
--> 1/2*base*height = 12.5
--> 1/2*5*height = 12.5
--> Height = 5
--> Nothing can be said about the length of the other 2 sides --> Insufficient
(2) The length of a side of triangle PQR is 5∗√2
--> Nothing can be said about the length of the other 2 sides --> Insufficient
Combining (1) & (2),
base, PQ = 5, height = 5, one side = 5√2
Two possible cases
Case 1: An isosceles right angled triangle with 45-45-90 angles [PQ = 5, Height = PR = 5 & Hypotenuse, QR = 5√2]
Case 2: An obtuse triangle with base, PQ = 5, PR (obtuse angle = 135 deg) = 5√2, and 3rd side, QR = 5√5
--> Insufficient
IMO Option E

Why heron's formula is not applicable to this ?
We have area and two sides. Third side can be deduced ?! :O
Kindly guide.
