Area of triangle is $16.25$ $16.25$

Explanation:

Given three sides $a, b$ $a,b$ and $c$ $c$ of a triangle, its are is given by $\sqrt{s (s - a) (s - b) (s - c)}$ $sqrt(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c))$ , where $s = \frac{1}{2} (a + b + c)$ $s=1/2(a+b+c)$ .

As $a = 5$ $a=5$ , $b = 7$ $b=7$ and $c = 10$ $c=10$ , we have $s = \frac{1}{2} (5 + 7 + 10) = \frac{1}{2} \times 22 = 11$ $s=1/2(5+7+10)=1/2×22=11$

Hence, area of triangle is $\sqrt{11 (11 - 5) (11 - 7) (11 - 10)}$ $sqrt(11(11-5)(11-7)(11-10))$

= $\sqrt{11 \times 6 \times 4 \times 1}$ $sqrt(11×6×4×1)$

= $\sqrt{264} = 16.25$ $sqrt264=16.25$
