Subject: Area of scalene triangle Hi. total perimeter = 1000m Can you please help me find a solution to this problem. Thanks for your time. |
Kalsi,
I can show you two ways to find the area. One is to use the technique I showed Sharon a few days ago to find the height and then use the fact that the area of a triangle is one-half the base times te height. The second method is to use Heron's formula.
