Hello,
Can someone please tell me if I worked this out correct and ended with the right answer?
Thank You...
I need to find the area and Height of this right triangle ( only knowing the lengths of its sides)side 6,5,11...
Is this correct?
sides 6, 5, 11
--
6+11+5/2
=22/2=11
A< 11 (11-5) (11-6) (11-11)>
=11 . 6 . 5 = 330
sqare root of 330 = 18.2
Area = 18.2
------
1/2 base 11 = 5.5
5.5 / 18.2 = 3.3
Height = 3.3
---------
Area= 18.2
Height= 3.3
First of all, a triangle with sides 5,6, and 11 is not possible, least of all a right triangle.
Secondly in your calculations, I recognize the steps needed to use Heron's Formula for finding the area of a triangle.
Is that what you are doing?
Check again what the correct sides are and I will help you
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out. It seems there is some confusion in your calculation. Let's go through the steps to find the area and height of a right triangle.
To find the area and height of a right triangle, you need to know the lengths of its sides. However, you mentioned the sides as 6, 5, and 11, which is not possible for a right triangle. Please check the side lengths again and provide the correct values.
Once you provide the correct side lengths, we can proceed with the calculations using the appropriate formula, which in the case of a right triangle, involves the Pythagorean theorem.
