You could use Heron/Hero's formula for finding the area of a triangle when you know the lengths of the three sides, a, b, and c.
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+sqrt%28s%28s-a%29%28s-b%29%28s-c%29%29\" s = the semi-perimeter of the triangle.
\n" ); document.write( "\"s+=+21%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"s+=+10.5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a+=+b\"=\"c+=+21%2F3\" =\"7\" Make the appropriate substitutions:
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+sqrt%2810.5%2810.5-7%29%2810.5-7%29%2810.5-7%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+sqrt%2810.5%283.5%29%5E3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+sqrt%2810.5%2842.875%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+sqrt%28450.1875%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+21.2\"sq.in. (Rounded to one decimal place.)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
