Answer:
Area of given triangle is 939.15cm² and smallest altitude is 30.8cm
<h3>Solution:</h3>
We are given three sides of a triangle, Let the sides be :
We can find the area of the triangle with its three sides using Heron's Formula
- <u>Heron's </u><u>Formula</u>
Heron's formula was founded by hero of Alexandria, for finding the area of triangle in terms of the length of its sides. Heron's formula can be written as:

where ( s ) :

Therefore, for the given triangle first we will calculate ( s )

Now, Area of triangle will be:

Also, we have to find the smallest altitude, and the smallest altitude will be on the longest side. So,

Step-by-step explanation:
Area =0.5×base×height
Area= 0.5×5×3=7.5ft
I did it on the calculator and the answer is 7.77777777778
