Options
- A4 5
- B3 5
- C1 2
- D4 7
Correct answer
A. 4 5
Step-by-step solution
Given triangle ABC with sides a=13 , b=14 , and c=15 , the semi-perimeter is s = 13+14+15 2 = 21 . Using Heron's formula, the area is K = s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) = 21 8 7 6 = 7056 = 84 . The area can also be expressed as K = 1 2 bc A , so 84 = 1 2 14 15 A = 105 A . Solving yields A = 84 105 = 4 5 .
