OpenStudy (anonymous):

My friend told me she used this one so i don't know if it's the right one. http://prntscr.com/91oqpx

OpenStudy (welshfella):

oh I haven't seen that one before you can slao use Hero's formula Area = sqrt[s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)] where a,b and c are the 3 sides and s = half the perimeter

OpenStudy (welshfella):

i used that and got 70.1 to the nearest 10th

OpenStudy (welshfella):

Oh its called Heron's formula not Heros

OpenStudy (welshfella):

It's a bit easier to use than your friend's.
