Find the area of a triangle whose length of each side is 13 inches, 15 inches and 14 inches. |
84 square inches 81.2 square inches 42.1 square inches 84.2 square inches |
84 square inches |
Length of each side is 13 inches, 15 inches and 14 inches. The area of the triangle = \(\sqrt {s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) }\) s = \(\frac{a + b + c}{2}\) = \(\frac{13 + 14 + 15}{2}\) = 21 The area of the triangle = \(\sqrt {21(21-13)(21-14)(21-15)}\) = \(\sqrt {21(8)(7)(6)}\) = 84 cm2 |
