Area of Non-right Triangles Practice pls help
Sure! Here are a few practice problems for finding the area of non-right triangles:
1. Find the area of a triangle with sides of lengths 5 cm, 7 cm, and 9 cm.
2. Calculate the area of a triangle with sides measuring 8 in, 10 in, and 12 in.
3. Determine the area of a triangle with side lengths of 15 m, 18 m, and 21 m.
To find the area of a non-right triangle, you can use Hero's formula, which states:
Area = √(s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c))
Where s is the semi-perimeter of the triangle (s = (a + b + c) / 2), and a, b, and c are the lengths of the triangle's sides.
Using the given side lengths, you can calculate the area of each triangle using Hero's formula. Let me know if you need further assistance with this practice!
