Find the area of the triangle below.

Question

Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

14cm 6cm 20cm

Answer 1

To find the area of the triangle, we can use Heron's formula.

First, we calculate the semi-perimeter:
s = (a + b + c) / 2
s = (14 + 6 + 20) / 2
s = 20 cm

Next, we can calculate the area using Heron's formula:
Area = √[s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)]
Area = √[20(20 - 14)(20 - 6)(20 - 20)]
Area = √[20(6)(14)(0)]
Area = √0
Area = 0

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 0 square centimeters.
