(5,12,13) is a right triangle and can be constructed.
All the others do not satisfy the triangle inequality, i.e. the sum of two short sides must exceed the long side in order for the triangle to be constructed.
Examples:
2+11<15, so no
3+7<11, so no
4+8<15, so no
but 5+12>13 so yes, it can be constructed.
The area of the triangle formed by his path is 34971.98 ft sq to the nearest hundredth.
<h3>What is the Heron's formula?</h3>
The Heron's formula is given as;
√s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)
where s is half the perimeter of the triangle
WE have been given that horse gallops 200ft, turns and trots 350ft, turns again and travels 410ft to return to the point he started from.
Perimeter of the triangle is given as = 200 + 350 + 410 = 960 ft
Semi perimeter = 960 ft/ 2 = 480 ft
Area = √s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)
Area = √480 (480 -200)(480 -350)(480 -410)
Area = √480 (280)(130)(70)
Area = √480 (2548000)
Area = 34971.98
The area of the triangle formed by his path is 34971.98 ft sq to the nearest hundredth.
