If an angle of a triangle remain unchanged but each of its two including sides is doubled then by what factor does the area get multiplied?
Let the 2 sides be $$a=b=2$$ cm each, and the angle between them be $$\theta$$
Now, area of triangle = $$\frac{1}{2} ab sin\theta$$
=> $$A=\frac{1}{2}\times2\times2\times sin\theta=2sin\theta$$ $$cm^2$$
When the sides are doubled, => $$a'=b'=4$$ cm
=> $$A'=\frac{1}{2}\times4\times4\times sin\theta=8sin\theta$$ $$cm^2$$
$$\therefore$$ $$\frac{A'}{A}=4$$
=> Ans - (C)
