Answer:
Find the semi-perimeter:
p = (18 + 24 + 30) - 2 = 36 cm
Find the area of the triangle:
area = √p(p-a)(p-b)(p-c)
area = √36(36 - 18)(36 - 24)(26 - 30)
area = √46656
area = 216 cm²
Find the length of the altitude corresponding to the smallest side:
area = 1/2 (base) (height)
216 = 1/2 (18) (height)
216 = 9 height
height = 216 - 9 = 24 cm
Answer: The area is 216 cm² and the corresponding height is 24 cm
