In a triangle, the sides are 13.14.15 cm. Find the area and height drawn to the larger side.

Let’s calculate the semiperimeter of the triangle ABC.

ravs = (AB + BC + AC) / 2 = (14 + 13 + 15) / 2 = 21 m.

By Heron’s theorem, we determine the area of the triangle ABC.

Sav = √21 * (21 – 14) * (21 – 13) * (21 – 15) = √21 * 7 * 8 * 6 = √7056 = 84 cm2.

The area of the triangle ABC is also equal to: Sавс = АС * ВН / 2.

VN = 2 * Savs / AC = 2 * 84/15 = 168/15 = 11.2 cm.

Answer: The area of the triangle is 84 cm2, the height of the triangle is 11.2 cm.
