Answer:

24179 square inches

Explanation:

In ΔRST, r = 620 inches, s = 840 inches and t=230 inches. Find the area of ΔRST to the nearest square inch.

We use the formula

Heron's formula = √s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)

Where s = a + b + c/2

Solving for s

s = 620 + 840 + 230/2

s = 845

Solving for the area of the triangle

= √845 × (845 - 620) × (845 - 840) × (845 - 230)

= √584634375

= 24,179.213696893 square inches

Approximately = 24179 square inches
