Find the area of the figure with Heron’s formula
1 answer:
Answer:
735 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure is a trapezium .The area of the triangle section can be calculated using the Heron's formula.
The other part of the figure will be a square of sides 21 cm by 21 cm
<u>Area of the square section</u>
Area = l²
Area = 21* 21 = 441 cm²
<u>Area of the triangle using Heron's formula</u>
Sides of the triangle are ;
a= 28 cm
c= 35 cm
b = 21 cm -----height of the trapezium
The Heron's formula is given as;
where s is half the perimeter of the triangle
Perimeter of the triangle is given as ;
P= 35 + 28 + 21 =84 cm
s= 84/2 = 42 cm
Total area = 294 + 441 = 735 cm²

<h3>What is Pythagoras theorem?</h3>The Pythagoras theorem states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the lengths of the other two sides of the right-angled triangle.
Given
QR is the tangent to circle P at point Q.
QP = 3 units and QR = 5,.3 units
The length of the RP is given by;
Hence, the apporoximate length of the RP is 6.1 units.
