hello there u can use herons formula to find the area A=sqrt(s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)) s=(a+b+c)/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you do it now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u place the numbers in there so i can solve it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a=7.2 b=12.1 c=8.3 s=13.8 A=sqrt(13.8*(13.8-7.2)*(13.8-8.3)*(13.8-12.1))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A=5.96

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@rohitmathew

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you did all the calculations right.. then it is :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea but i dont think were done bcs thats not in the answer choices..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can anyone plz help me get the RIGHT answer

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

There is a side angle side formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

29.18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats the answer i got..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:).. just try once more

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so why did u tell me my answer was correct @rohitmathew

OpenStudy (anonymous):

noo.. i didnt calculate and check.. thats why i asked you if you did the calculations right, your answer is right

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Area = 1/2 * side1 * sine (angle) * side2 Area = 1/2 * 7.2 * sine (103) * 8.3 Area = 29.88 * 0.97437 Area = 29.1141756

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

The formula I used is the side angle side formula http://www.1728.org/triang.htm Towards the bottom of the page
