please rate it or make me the brainliest if u think its right:)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the third side. Since perimeter is the sum of sides, we have 9+5+x = 21.
14 + x = 21 or x = 7cm.
Now, using Heron's formula, we can find the area as given below (since this is a scalene triangle, with all three sides unequal).
Area = sqrt (s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c))
where s = semi-perimeter.
Thus, s = 21/2 = 10.5.
Area = sqrt (10.5 * (10.5-5) * (10.5 - 9) * (10.5-7))
= sqrt (10.5 * 5.5 * 1.5 * 3.5)
= sqrt (303.1875)
= 17.41228 sq. cm.
Thus, the area of the triangle is 17.41228 sq. cm.
thanks:)
