Hi,



Using Heron's Equation to find the area of a triangle when 3 sides are given 

sides a, b, c and s is the  semi-perimeter. in this case s = 540/2 = 270

sqrt%28s%28s-a%29%28s-b%29%28s-c%29%29

sqrt%28270%28270-90%29%28270-225%29%28270-255%29%29

Calculator will make short work of getting the area of this play area.
