Answer to Problem 10AYU

Solution:

Area  8.18

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Precalculus, Chapter 8.4, Problem 10AYU

Formula used:

K = s (s  a) (s  b) (s  c)

Calculation:

a = 8, b = 5, c = 4

Area of the triangle is given by

K = s (s  a) (s  b) (s  c)

Where s = a + b + c2

s = 8 + 5 + 42 = 172

K = ( 172) (172  8) (172  5) (172  4)

K = 31194

K  8.18

Area  8.18
