Find the area of a triangle two sides of which are 18 cm and 10 cm and the perimeter is 42 cm.

Question: Find the area of a triangle two sides of which are 18 cm and 10 cm and the perimeter is 42 cm. Solution: Whenever we are given the measurements of all sides of a triangle, we basically look for Heron's formula to find out the area of the triangle. If we denote area of the triangle by A, then the area of a triangle having sides a, b, c and s as semi-perimeter is given by: $A=\sqrt{s \times(s-a) \times(s-b) \times(s-c)}$ Where, s =(a + b + c)/2 We are given: a = 18 cm b = 10 cm, and peri...
