BC = 1/3 AB

Area of triangle ABC= 1/2 base * height = 6
= 1/2 * 1/3 AB * AB =6
= 1/3 AB^2 = 12
AB^2 = 36
AB = 6

BC = 1/3 AB = 1/3 * 6 = 2

AC = square root AB^ + BC^2

= square root 6^2 + 2^2
= square root 40
= 2 square root 10

Answer is E

area = 6.
(1/2)*AB*BC=6
ab*ab/3 = 12 -> ab^2 = 36
bc^2 = (ab/3)^2 = 36/9 = 4
ac^2 = ab^2 + bc^2 = 36+4 = 40
ac = 2*root(10)
None of the options is correct ( e is mentioned as root(10) only)
