Q:

Compute the area of a triangle with sides. 10 x 10 x 16 Area = ? square units

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:48 square unitsStep-by-step explanation:To find the area of this triangle, we may use Hero's formula:                          A = sqrt ((s)(s - a)(s - b)(s - c))where s is the semi - perimeter, a, b, and c are the measure of the sides.                                   s = (a + b + c) / 2                                    = (10 + 10 + 16) / 2                                    = 18Substituting this in the equation for area,                         A = sqrt ((18)(18 - 10)(18 - 10)(18 - 16))                                   A = 48 units²
