herons formula

Question

Determine whether a triangle can be formed with the given side lengths. If so, use Heron's formula to find the area of the triangle.

a = 240
b = 127
c = 281

Answer 1

The side lenghts of triangle a = 240, b = 1227 and c = 281

Calculate the area of triangle by using heron's formula

Where a,b,c are side lengths of triangle and s is semi perimeter.

Substitute the values of a,b,c and s in the above formula.

Area of the triangle is 15183.76 squre units.
