Q. The area K of a triangle with sidesa, b, and c is K=\text{_______} where S = \text{_______}.
Identify Formula: Identify the formula to use for the area of a triangle when the sides are known.We use Heron's formula, which states that the area K of a triangle with sides a, b, and c is given by K=s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c) where s is the semi-perimeter of the triangle.
Calculate Semi-Perimeter: Calculate the semi-perimeter s.The semi-perimeter s is calculated as s=2a+b+c.
Substitute Value: Substitute the value of s back into Heron's formula.Using s from the previous step, substitute into the area formula: K=s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c).
