280) If the three lengths of the sides of a triangle are known, Heron's formula can be used to find its area. If a, b, and c
are the three lengths of the sides, Heron's formula for area is:
A = s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)
1
where s is half the perimeter of the triangle, or s = (a + b + c).
2
Use this formula to find the area of the triangle if a = 5 cm, b = 9 cm and c = 12 cm.

A) 14 663 sq cm B) 4 2 sq cm C) 4 26 sq cm D) 8 13 sq cm

 281) If the three lengths of the sides of a triangle are known, Heron's formula can be used to find its area. If a, b, and c
are the three lengths of the sides, Heron's formula for area is:
A = s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)
1
where s is half the perimeter of the triangle, or s = (a + b + c).
2
Use this formula to approximate the area of the triangle to two decimal places, if necessary, when a = 6 cm, b =
10 cm and c = 12 cm.
