n the provided triangle, x = 18 m, y = 14.5 m, z = 8.2 m, and h = 5.2 m.
What is the area?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Assuming that the given values of x, y and z are the length of the sides of the triangle,

you can use the Heron's formula to find its area.


By doing this way, you will get  area = 58.301833107974  square meters.



To facilitate my calculations (and do not overstress my brain), I used the online calculator

Solved.


By solving this way,  I should not think or determine to which side the given height is related.


With my approach,  the given value of  h  is  UNNECASSARY  EXCESSIVE  data.
