Question

How do you use Heron's formula to determine the area of a triangle with sides of that are 25, 58, and 41 units in length?

Answer 1

First find the semiperimeter `s=(25+58+41)/2=62`.

Next, use Heron's area formula ...

Explanation:

Heron's Area `=sqrt(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c))`

where, a, b and c are the sides of the triangle ...

Heron's Area `=sqrt(62(62-25)(62-58)(62-41))`

`~~438.97` `unit^2`

hope that helps
