Answer:

Perimeter=737 feets

Area=13542.6 ft²

Explanation:

Well assuming that a,b,c are the three sides of the triangle and h is the height then;

Perimeter=distance around the figure

P=164+221+352= 737 feet

Area of a triangle given three sides is calculated using the formulae;

Area=√s (s-a) (s-b) (s-c) where s=(a+b+c)/2

Finding s;

s=(164+221+352)/2 =368.5 feet

Finding the area

A= √ 368.5 (368.5-164) (368.5-221) (368.5-352)

A=√368.5 (204.5) (147.5) (16.5)

A= 13542.6 ft²
