the side of a triangle are 14 cm , 6 cm and 10 cm long.find the area of the triangle
Answers
Given :-
First side = 14 cm
Second side = 6 cm
Third side = 10 cm
To Find :-
The area of the triangle.
Analysis :-
Firstly, find the semi perimeter by substituting the values given in it's respective formula.
Using Heron's formula, find the area accordingly.
Solution :-
We know that,
- s = Semi perimeter
- a = Area
By the formula,
Given that,
First side (a) = 14 cm
Second side (b) = 6 cm
Third side (c) = 10 cm
Substituting their values,
s = 14+6+10/2
s = 30/2
s = 15
Therefore, the semi perimeter of the triangle is 15 cm.
Using Heron's formula,
Given that,
Semi perimeter (s) = 15 cm
First side (a) = 14 cm
Second side (b) = 6 cm
Third side (c) = 10 cm
Substituting their values,
Therefore, area of the triangle is 25.98 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:
Strategy:
Let's start by stating Heron's formula.
In a triangle with sides \goldD{a}astart color #e07d10, a, end color #e07d10, \blueD{b}bstart color #11accd, b, end color #11accd, and \redD{c}cstart color #e84d39, c, end color #e84d39,
\text{Area} =\sqrt{\maroonD{s}(\maroonD{s}-\goldD{a})(\maroonD{s}-\blueD{b})(\maroonD{s}-\redD{c})}Area=
s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)

Where \maroonD{s}sstart color #ca337c, s, end color #ca337c is the semi-perimeter.
