Answer:

use the cosine (cos)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three trig functions:

sin

cos

tan

An easy way to remember which sides go with which function is the saying:

soh - cah - toa

so....breaking down the acronoym

sin refers to opposite over hypotenuse

cos refers to adjacent over hypotenuse

tan refers to opposite over adjacent

Hope this helps!!!! :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here it's given that ,

$\sf\red{\longrightarrow} A=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}$

Also ,

$\sf\red{\longrightarrow} s =\dfrac{a+b+c}{2}$

And we need to find out the value of A , when

a = 3
b = 4
c = 5

So , on substituting the respective values to find s we have ,

$\sf\red{\longrightarrow} s =\dfrac{3+4+5}{2}=\dfrac{12}{2}=\bf{6}$

Now let's find out A as ,

$\sf\red{\longrightarrow} A = \sqrt{6(6-3)(6-4)(6-5)} \\$

$\sf\red{\longrightarrow}A =\sqrt{6 * 3 * 2 * 1}\\$

$\sf\red{\longrightarrow} A = \sqrt{3^2 * 2^2 *1^2}\\$

$\sf\red{\longrightarrow}A = 3*2\\$

$\sf\red{\longrightarrow}\boxed{\qquad \blue{\bf A = 6 \qquad}}$
