Explanation given below

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula given by Heron about the area of a triangle, is also known as Hero’s formula. It is stated as:

\text { Area of a triangle }=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}

where a, b and c are the sides of the triangle, and s = semi-perimeter, i.e., half the perimeter of the triangle = \frac{a+b+c}{2}

Activity: find the are of a triangle whose vertices have coordinates (3,5),(6,-5), and (-4,10)

Graph attached below

Distance Formula calculations:

\begin{aligned}&\sqrt{(3-6)^{2}+(5--5)^{2}}=\sqrt{109}\\&\sqrt{(3--4)^{2}+(5-10)^{2}}=\sqrt{74}\\&\sqrt{(6--4)^{2}+(-5-10)^{2}}=\sqrt{325}\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}&s=\frac{\sqrt{109}+\sqrt{74}+\sqrt{325}}{2}\\&\text { Area }=\sqrt{(5)(5-\sqrt{109})(5-\sqrt{74})(6-\sqrt{325})}\\\end{aligned}
