\n" ); document.write( " use the area formula.
\n" ); document.write( "\"s+=+%281%2F2%29%2814%2B48%2B50%29+=+56\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "area of the triangle \"A=+sqrt%28s%28s-a%29%28s-b%29%28s-c%29%29+=+sqrt%2856%2A6%2A8%2A42%29+=336\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also, area\"A=%281%2F2%2950%2Ah%2A2+=+50h\",\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"h\" is the answer or the perpendicular distance from midpoint of \"side \"14\"\" to \"side \"50\"\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The line segment connecting the midpoint to the vertex divides the triangle to two equal halves.\r
