Question

. Find the area of a triangle whose sides are 6cm, 8cm, 10cm

Answer 1

Assume that the height, base and the hypothesis of the triangle are 6cm, 8cm and 10cm respectively:

Area of the triangle
= (6*8/ 2) cm^2
=48/2
=24cm^2

The area is 24cm^2

Answer 2

`24cm^(2)`

Explanation:

s =
`(6 + 8 + 10)/(2)` =
`(24)/(2)` = 12

The area is given as
`√(s (s - a)(s - b)(s - c))`

`√(12(6)(4)(2))`

`√(576)` =
`24cm^(2)`
