I gave you 2 nonexistent triangles to solve, and for obvious reasons you didn't come up with the answer.

Here's another triangle, real acute triange, with the sides:  a=7,  b=8  and  c=9. Find the area(A).

s = [7 + 8 + 9] /2  =  24/2 = 12

And using Heron's formula, we have

A = √[12 * (12-7) * (12 - 8) * (12 - 9)] =

√[12 * 5 * 4 * 3] =

√[12 * 5 * 12] =

√[144 * 5 ] =

12√5 sq units
