Find the area of the triangle below.
Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.
14cm 6cm 20cm
To find the area of the triangle, we can use Heron's formula.
First, we calculate the semi-perimeter:
s = (a + b + c) / 2
s = (14 + 6 + 20) / 2
s = 20 cm
Next, we can calculate the area using Heron's formula:
Area = √[s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)]
Area = √[20(20 - 14)(20 - 6)(20 - 20)]
Area = √[20(6)(14)(0)]
Area = √0
Area = 0
Therefore, the area of the triangle is 0 square centimeters.
