Answer:

Use Heron's formula; see below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Heron's formula.

Let the sides of the triangle have lengths a, b, and c.

s = \dfrac{a + b + c}{2}

area = \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}

Example:

A triangle has side lengths 3, 4, and 5 units.

Find the area of the triangle.

s = \dfrac{a + b + c}{2}

s = \dfrac{3 + 4 + 5}{2}

s = 6

area = \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}

area = \sqrt{6(6 - 3)(6 - 4)(6 - 5)}

area = \sqrt{6(3)(2)(1)}

area = \sqrt{36}

area = 6

¿Cuál es el área de un rectángulo, sabiendo que su perímetro mide 24 cm y que su base es el triple de su altura?
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

El área del rectángulo es:

27 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Consideración:

La formula del perímetro de un rectángulo es:

p = 2(altura + base)

Planteamiento:

24 = 2(a+b)

b = 3a

a = longitud de la altura del rectángulo

b = longitud de la base del rectángulo

Desarrollo:

sustituyendo el valor de la segunda ecuación del planteamiento en la primer ecuación del planteamiento:

24 = 2(a + 3a)

24/2 = 4a

12 = 4a

a = 12/4

a = 3 cm

de la segunda ecuación del planteamiento:

b = 3a

b = 3*3

b = 9 cm

Comprobación:

de la primer ecuación del planteamiento:

24 = 2(3+9)

24 = 2*12

Respuesta:

la formula del área de un rectángulo es:

A = base * altura

A = 9cn * 3cm

A = 27cm²
