Question
### Triangle Area Calculation Problems

**11. Find the area of the triangle:**

- \( a = 75.4 \)
- \( b = 52 \)
- \( c = 52 \)

**12. Find the area of the triangle:**

- \( a = 3.05 \)
- \( b = 0.75 \)
- \( c = 2.45 \)

#### Instructions

To find the area of these triangles, you can use Heron's formula:

1. Calculate the semi-perimeter \( s \) using the formula:
   \[
   s = \frac{a + b + c}{2}
   \]

2. Use Heron's formula to find the area \( A \):
   \[
   A = \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}
   \]

Substitute the given side lengths into the formulas to determine the area for each triangle.
