To calculate for the area of the triangle given all its side, use the Heron's formula which is, 
 
                            A = sqrt ((s)(s - a)(s - b)(s - c))

where A is the area. a, b, and c are the measure of the sides and s the semi - perimeter or half of the perimeter.

With the given above, s = (17 + 18 + 21.4) / 2 = 28.2

Substituting the known dimensions to the Heron's formula,
          
          A = sqrt ((28.2)(28.2 - 17)(28.2 - 18)(28.2 - 21.4)) = 148 units^3

Thus, the area of the triangle is 148 units^3.

A) The greatest rectangular area will be the area of a square 10 m on each side, 100 m^2.

b) The new dimensions will be 11 m × 11 m.
.. The new area will be (11 m)^2 = 121 m^2.

c) The area was increased by 121 m^2 -100 m^2 = 21 m^2, or 21%.

d) Yes, and no.
.. If you increase the dimensions by 10%, the area will increase by 21%.
.. (40 m)^2 = 1600 m^2
.. (44 m)^2 = 1936 m^2 = 1.21*(1600 m^2), an increase of 21% over the original.

.. If you increase the dimensions by 1 unit, the area will increase by (2x+1) square units, where x is the side of the original. For x≠10, this is not 21 square units.
.. (41 m)^2 = 1681 m^2 = 1600 m^2 +(2*40 +1) m^2 = 1600 m^2 +81 m^2
