To find the area of a triangle, we can use Heron's formula:
Area = √(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c))
where a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides of the triangle, and s is the semiperimeter. The semiperimeter is half the sum of all three sides:
s = (a + b + c) / 2
Given the lengths of the sides of the triangle as 4cm, 9cm, and 5cm, we can calculate the semiperimeter:
s = (4 + 9 + 5) / 2 = 18 / 2 = 9 cm
Now we can substitute the values into Heron's formula:
Area = √(9(9-4)(9-9)(9-5))
= √(9 * 5 * 0 * 4)
= √(0)
= 0 cm²
Therefore, the area of the triangle is 0 cm².

Apologies for the mistake. Let's calculate the area of the triangle correctly using Heron's formula.
Given the lengths of the sides of the triangle as 4cm, 9cm, and 5cm, we calculate the semiperimeter:
s = (4 + 9 + 5) / 2 = 18 / 2 = 9 cm
Now we can substitute the values into Heron's formula:
Area = √(9(9-4)(9-9)(9-5))
= √(9 * 5 * 0 * 4)
= √(0)
= 0 cm²
Apologies again for the confusion in my previous response. The area of the triangle is indeed 0 cm².

= √(0 * 0)
= √0
