If two sides of a triangle are 6 and 11, respectively, which of the following could NOT be the area of this triangle? Select the correct option
A) 1	B) 6	C) 17	D) 29	E) 34
For this question it would be helpful to know the largest area that this triangle could be, given the two sides of 6 and 11.   We know that the area of a triangle will be maximized when two sides are perpendicular to each other (consult Bunuel's drawing above). Thus we have a max area being equal to one half the base times the height, either (.5)11 * 6 -or- (.5)6 * 11 will result in a maximum area of 33 for the triangle; therefore, the triangle could never have an area of 34.   34
