The sides of a triangle are 16 cm, 30 cm, 34 cm. Find its area.

Given: The sides of a triangle are 16 cm, 30 cm, and 34 cm.

To Find: Area of the triangle

Concept Used:

If sides of a triangle are a, b, and c, then area of a triangle is given by:

Where s = semiperimeter of the triangle

Assumption:

a = 16 cm

b = 30 cm

c = 34 cm

Explanation:

s = 40

Now, putting the values of a, b, c, and s in the formula we get,

Area = 4 × 10 × 6

Area = 240 cm²

Hence, area of the triangle 240 cm².
