A surveyor calculates the area of a triangular shape lot by measuring the 3 sides. If side a = 150 feet , side b = 200 feet, and side c = 100, determine the area of the lot.
***
area of a triangle=√s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)
s=1/2(a+b+c)=1/2(150+200+100)=1/2(450)=225
area=√225(225-150)(225-200)(225-100)=√225(75*25*125)=7261.84 sq ft
