Suppose you have a triangle (which may not necessarily be a right triangle) with sides a=19, b=11, and c=26, use Heron's formula to find the following: A) The semiperimeter of the triangle: B) The area of the triangle:
Added by Ismael A.
Step 1
So, we have: s = (a + b + c)/2 s = (19 + 11 + 26)/2 s = 28 Show more…
