Answer:

75cm²

Explanation:

The area A of a triangle is given by the formula A=12bh where b is the base and h is the height of the triangle. But in this case, there are three sides.

To find the area of a triangle with 3 sides given as 10, 15, and 18, we assume that a = 10, b = 15, and c = 18.

Then the semi-perimeter is, s = (a + b + c)/2 = (10 + 15 + 18)/2 = 21.5. We will find the area of the triangle using Heron's formula.

A = √[s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)]

= √[8(21. 5-10)(21.5 -15)(21. 5-18)]

= √[21.5 × 11.5 × 6.5 × 3.5]

= √(5625)

≈ 7.5

75cm²

Explanation:

10 times 15 is 150 and since it is a triangle you divide in half so the answer is 75. And in this case the 18 is not needed.
