Perimeter of triangle = 42
two sides are 18 and 10 cm
lets find third side
third side = perimeter - sum of 2 sides
= 42 - ( 18+10)
= 42 - 28
= 14 cm
So three sides are 18,10,14
Now area
Let's find semi perimeter = 42/2 = 21
So area = √( s( s-a)( s-b)( s-c))
where s is semi perimeter
a,b,c are 3 sides
Area = √( 21( 21-18)(21-10)(21-14)
= √( 21× 3 × 11 × 7)
= √4851
= 21√11
= 69.6 cm^2 approx
