Question

Why there cant be a triangle with side 16,16,32 cms. Please verify by herons formula

Answer 1

let a be 16cm
let b be 16cm
let c be 32cm
semiperimeter=a+b+c\2=64\2=32
area=32(32-16)(32-16)(32-32)    (there is not square root symbol in computer)
=32.16.16.0
=0
=0   (square root of 0 is 0)
