Study Notes
Heron's Formula for Triangle Area
- Heron's formula calculates the area of a triangle when only the side lengths are known.
- Formula: Area = √s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c), where 's' is the semi-perimeter (half the perimeter) of the triangle, and 'a', 'b', and 'c' are the lengths of the three sides.
Semi-perimeter Calculation
- Semi-perimeter (s) is calculated by adding the lengths of all three sides and dividing by 2.
- s = (a + b + c) / 2
Application Examples
- The examples in the text involve calculating the area of various triangles given their side lengths using Heron's formula.
- One example involved a triangular park with sides of 40m, 32m, and 24m, and the calculated area using the formula.
- Additional examples include equilateral triangles and isosceles triangles.
