Answer 2

Answer: Area = √7436 inches

Explanation:

To determine the area of the triangle, we would apply the heron's rule which is expressed as

Area = √S(S -a)(S - b)(S - c)

Where a, b and c are the length of each side of the triangle.

S = (a + b + c)/2

The length of the sides are 13 inches, 15 inches, and 24 inches

S = (13 + 15 + 24)/2 = 26

Area = √26(26 -13)(26 - 15)(26 - 24)

Area = √26(13)(11)(2)

Area = √7436 inches
