Question

6 ft.

12 ft.
8 ft.
The area of this irregular
figure is
-sq. ft.
16 ft.

Answer 1

When we know all 3 sides, we use Heron's Formula

area = sqrt [s *(s-a) * (s-b) * (s-c)]

where "s" is the semi-perimeter which in this case equals

s = (6 + 8 + 12) / 2 = 13

area = sqrt [13 * 5 * 7 * 1]

area = sqrt 455

area = 21.3307290077

area = 21.33 square feet (rounded)
