~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Using three given sides of the triangle a, b, c, find its area by the Heron's formula
area = ,
where s = = = 11 is the semi-perimeter.
So, the area is
area = = = .
Another formula for the area of the triangle is
area = ,
where h is the altitude drawn to the sides AB.
It gives you an equation
=
or
3*h = .
From this equation, h = = 6.99206 (rounded). ANSWER
At this point, the problem is solved in full.
