Algebra.Com's Answer #649201 by addingup(3677)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Knowing all three sides we can use Hero's formula: \n" ); document.write( "Let a, b, c be the sides \n" ); document.write( "Let p = 1/2 perimeter \n" ); document.write( "`````````````````````````````````````````````` \n" ); document.write( "Perimeter: a+b+c = 120+170+220 = 510 \n" ); document.write( "p = 510/2 = 255 \n" ); document.write( "````````````````````````````````````````````` \n" ); document.write( "Hero's formula: \n" ); document.write( "√p(p-a)(p-b)(p-c) = √255(255-120)(255-170)(255-220) = 10,120 or if you want to be super precise: 10,119.99876 \n" ); document.write( "John \n" ); document.write( " |
