Aside from the conventional formula for triangle, A=<span>½bh which is only applicable to problems where the base and height are already given and the triangle is a right triangle having a degree of 90. There are some formulas in getting the area of a triangle:
>Given three sides of the triangle, use Heron's Formula
A= sqrt(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c))
s= (a+b+c)/2
>Given two sides with an included angle
</span>Area = <span>1/2 </span><span>ab sin (tetha)
</span><span>tethat should be in degrees

Charles can do the whole job in an hour, Bill can do 1/2 of the job in an hour, and Bob does 1/3 of the job in an hour. Therefore, they do a total of 1+1/2+1/3=11/6 of the job in an hour, meaning it takes them 6/11 of an hour. This is 6/11*60=360/11 minutes, or approximately 33 minutes.
