Answer:To find out the Area of a scalene triangle whose three sides are given, first find out the half perimeter

s = (a+b+c)/2

where a, b, and c are the length of the three sides of a triangle

s = (35 + 45 + 50) / 2

= 130 / 2

= 65 cm

Area of scalene triangle is given by

A = sqrt (s (s - a) (s - b) (s - c))

= sqrt (65 * (65 - 35) ( 65 - 45) (65 - 50))

= sqrt (65 * 30 * 20 * 15)

= sqrt (585000)

= 764.853 sq cm
