anonymous · Answer

oh okay thanks!

hero · Answer

I calculated something different

anonymous · Answer

what did you get?

hero · Answer

I calculated it two different ways and got 1845.47

hero · Answer

@mathstudent55, did you want to say something?

mathstudent55 · Answer

1560 is correct. (1/2)bh = 0.5(52 m)(60 m) = 1560 m^2

mathstudent55 · Answer

52 m is the base. the height is 60 m

hero · Answer

I used Heron's formula and another similar formula. Both give the same result

hero · Answer

@mathstudent55, check with Heron's formula. I'm pretty sure you'll get a different result. Additionally, I used this formula to make sure:

$$A = \frac{\sqrt{((a+b-c) (a-b+c) (-a+b+c) (a+b+c))}}{4}$$

hero · Answer

I got the same result with both

anonymous · Answer

alright thank you.

hero · Answer

Hold on @Foreverisabell, double check with another formula

anonymous · Answer

which one?

hero · Answer

I always double-check with Heron's formula.

hero · Answer

If you get the same result with another formula, then I won't argue

mathstudent55 · Answer

Heron's Formula does give 1845.47555
It could be that this triangle with these dimensions is not possible.

hero · Answer

And that's exactly why I always check with Heron's Formula
