Question

Determine whether a triangle can be formed with the given side lengths. If so, use Heron's formula to find the area of the triangle. (1 point) a = 240 b = 127 c = 281

Answer 1

Area=15,183.77

Explanation:

A triangle can be formed.

Heron's Formula: √s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)

Start by finding the semi-perimeter of the triangle.

240+127+281=648

648/2= 324

Next, plug in the triangle side numbers.

√324(324-240)(324-127)(324-281)

≈15183.77

Answer 2

The answer is 15,183.77 feet.
