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 :

( a ) = 35 cm

( b ) = 54 cm

( c ) = 61 cm

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:

$\sf{ \pmb { \longrightarrow \: \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)} }}$

where ( s ) :

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

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

$\begin {aligned}\quad & \quad \longmapsto \sf s = \dfrac{a + b + c}{2} \\ & \quad \longmapsto \sf s = \dfrac{35 + 54 + 61}{2} \\ & \quad \longmapsto \sf s = \dfrac{150}{2} \\ & \quad \longmapsto \sf s = 75cm \end{aligned}$

Now, Area of triangle will be:

$\begin{aligned}&:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: A = \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)} \\ &:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: A = \sqrt{75(75 - 35)(75 - 54)(75 - 61)} \\&:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: A = \sqrt{75 \times 40 \times 21 \times 14} \\ &:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: A = \sqrt{5 \times 5 \times 3 \times 3 \times 2 \times 2 \times 7 \times 7 \times 2 \times 2 \times 5} \\ &:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: A =5 \times 3 \times 2 \times 7 \times 2 \sqrt{5} \\ &:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: A =420 \times 2.23 \\ &:\implies \sf\quad \sf \boxed{ \pmb{ \sf A =939.15 {cm}^{2} }} \end{aligned}$

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

$\begin{aligned}&:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: Area =939.15 \\ &:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: \dfrac{1}{2} \times b \times h =939.15 \\ &:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: \dfrac{1}{2} \times 61 \times h = 939.15 \\&:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: h =939.15 \times \dfrac{2}{61} \\&:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: h = \dfrac{1818.3}{61} \\ &:\implies \sf\quad \boxed{ \pmb{\sf \: h =30.79 \: (approx)}} \end{aligned}$

Is finding the mean weight of heart-disease patients in a study an example of data gathering?

Leviafan [203]

I would think so since you have to weigh each person and then add all the weights together and then divide this number by the total number of people weighed.

Would probably mostly hinge on the actual weighing part I think for the data gathering.
