A non right triangle has side 1 of 8 cm side 2 of 8 cm and a base of 9 cm find the area
To find the area of a non-right triangle, we can use Heron's formula.
First, we need to find the semi-perimeter of the triangle (s), which is calculated by adding all three sides together and dividing by 2.
s = (8 + 8 + 9) / 2
s = 12.5
Next, we can use Heron's formula to find the area:
Area = √(s * (s - side 1) * (s - side 2) * (s - base))
Area = √(12.5 * (12.5 - 8) * (12.5 - 8) * (12.5 - 9))
Area = √(12.5 * 4.5 * 4.5 * 3.5)
Area = √(11,390.625)
Area ≈ 33.77 cm^2
Therefore, the area of the non-right triangle with side lengths of 8 cm, 8 cm, and 9 cm is approximately 33.77 square centimeters.
