QUESTION :
in the triangle ABC 12 cm and height is 5 cm find the area of the triangle with the help of heron's formula
SOLUTION :
Given :
Base = 12 cm.
Height = 5 cm.
Hypotenuse = √ [ Base^2 + Height^2 ]
=> √ [ 12^2 + 5^2 ]
=> √ { 169 }
=> 13 cm .
Semiperimeter = [ a + b + c ] / [ 2 ] = [ 12 + 5 + 13 ] / [ 2 ] = 15
Area of Triangle = √ [ { s } { s - a } { s - b } { s - c } ]
=> √ [ { 15 } { 15 - 12 } { 15 - 5 } { 15 - 13} ]
=> √ [ 15 × 3 × 10 × 2 ]
=> 3 × 2 × 5
=> 30 cm^2
Hence the area of Triangle ABC = 30 cm^2.......(A)
