a childrens play area is triangular the sides of the play area measure 100m 250m and 275m . calculate the area of the play area, please show steps
+130536 We can use something called Heron's Formula to find this area
The area is given by :
A = sqrt [ s (s - a) (s - b) ( s - c) ] where a,b,c are the lengths of the triangle's sides and s is the "semi-perimeter" calculated as
s = [a + b + c] / 2 = [100 + 250 + 275]/2 = 312.5
So the area is
sqrt [ 312.5 (312.5 - 100) (312.5 - 250) (312.5 - 275) ] ≈ 12,475.56 square meters
