(Multistep)\newlineScore: \newline0/40/4\newlinePenalty: 11 off\newlineQuestion\newlineWatch Video\newlineShow Examples\newlineIn ΔGHI\Delta GHI, g=85g=85 inches, h=79h=79 inches and i=22i=22 inches. Find the area of ΔGHI\Delta GHI to the nearest 1010th of an square inch.\newlineAnswer Attempt 22 out of $\(2\)
  1. Calculate Semi-Perimeter: To find the area of a triangle when the lengths of all three sides are known, we can use Heron's formula. Heron's formula states that the area of a triangle with sides of lengths aa, bb, and cc is the square root of s(sa)(sb)(sc)s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c), where ss is the semi-perimeter of the triangle. The semi-perimeter is half the sum of the lengths of the sides.\newlineFirst, we calculate the semi-perimeter (ss) of triangle GHI.\newlines=(g+h+i)/2s = (g + h + i) / 2\newlines=(85+79+22)/2s = (85 + 79 + 22) / 2\newlines=186/2s = 186 / 2\newlines=93s = 93 inches
  2. Apply Heron's Formula: Now that we have the semi-perimeter, we can apply Heron's formula to find the area AA of the triangle.A=s(sg)(sh)(si)A = \sqrt{s(s - g)(s - h)(s - i)}A=93(9385)(9379)(9322)A = \sqrt{93(93 - 85)(93 - 79)(93 - 22)}A=93(8)(14)(71)A = \sqrt{93(8)(14)(71)}A=93×8×14×71A = \sqrt{93 \times 8 \times 14 \times 71}A=74856A = \sqrt{74856}A273.6A \approx 273.6 square inches
  3. Round Area: We need to round the area to the nearest tenth of a square inch as per the question prompt.\newlineThe area of triangle GHIGHI to the nearest tenth of a square inch is approximately 273.6273.6 square inches.
