Hi Saba, Which angle has the largest measure? If that is not clear from the numbers then draw a reasonably accurate diagram. Use the Law of Cosines to calculate the measure of the angle. You can use Heron's Formula to calculate the area of the triangle directly from the lengths of the three sides. If you want to use the fact that the area of a triangle is "half the base times the height" then consider the diagram and the fact that $ \sin A = \large \frac{h}{s}.$ Penny | ||||||||||||
