in brief otherwise ans will be reported..
Answers
Answer:
√s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)
Step-by-step explanation:
s is called semi perimeter
it is equal to half of perimeter.
s=a+b+c/2
where a+b+c=perimeter
a,b,c are lengths of sides of triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
Heron was born in about 10AD possibly in Alexandria in Egypt.He worked in applied mathematics.His works on mathematical and physical subjects are so numerous and varied that he is considered to be an encylopedic writer in these fields.His geometrical works deam largely with problems on mensuration written in three books.Book 1 deals with area of square,rectangle,triangle,trapezium,polygons,quadrilaterals,cones etc. In this book,Heron has derived the famous formula for the area of a triangle in term of its three sidea
The formula given by Heron about the area of a triangle,is also known as Heron's formula:
