Correct Answer: $52 \frac{1}{2}$ cm2


Solution : Given: The sides of a triangle = 29 cm, 21 cm, and 20 cm
We can see, $29^2 = 21^2 + 20^2$
So, this is a right-angled triangle.
⇒ Area $=\frac{1}{2}\times 21\times 20=210$ cm2
Area of the smaller triangle $=\frac14\times210=\frac{105}{2}=52\frac12$ cm$^2$
Hence, the correct answer is $52\frac12$ cm$^2$.
