If the three sides of a triangle are 11 cm, 12 cm and 13 cm, then whatis the area of the given triangle (in cm2)? |
$15\sqrt{13}$ $13\sqrt{26}$ $6\sqrt{105}$ $17\sqrt{42}$ |
$6\sqrt{105}$ |
We know that, Area of a triangle = \(\sqrt {s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) }\) and semi perimeter = \(\frac{a + b + c}{2}\) The three sides of a triangle are 11 cm, 12 cm and 13 cm, So according to the question, semi perimeter = \(\frac{11 + 12 + 13}{2}\) = 18cm Area of triangle = \(\sqrt {18(18-11)(18-12)(18-13) }\) = \(\sqrt {18(7)(6)(5) }\) = \(\sqrt {18(210) }\) = \(\sqrt {3780 }\) = $6\sqrt{105}$ |
