a triangle has sides of 33 feet, 39 feet, and 44 feet. Find the area of the triangle to the nearest hundredth of a square foot
add them all up and round to the nearest 100th, then take that number and square it = your answer.
so u dont have to use the laws of sines or the laws of cosines
nope
oh ok
you can use heros formula area = sqrt [(s(s-a)(s-b(s-c)]
oops its called Heron's formula
ok so i used that ,but i came up with a imaginary number i dont know why ????
do you know what the ' s' is?
yes you would add all the sides and divide by 2. So 33+39+44=116 116/2=58
right
so its sqrt (58 * 25* 19* 14)
ok , thank you , see last time i subtract two times thats why i got i different number for S
the answer would be 385700?
no the answer is sqrt 385700
oh yes yes i forgot about that , thank you
yw
thank again
