Explanation: Hello Students, time to practice and review the steps for the problem.

Lesson Steps

Step Type Explanation Answer

1

Problem

A triangle with side lengths a = 8, b = 15, and c = 17 units. Calculate the area.

2

Step

The given values are

a = 8 , b = 15 and c = 17 units

3

Formula

The semi perimeter of the triangle

\$S = (a + b + c) / 2 \$

4

Step

Substitute the value in the formula

\$S = (8 + 15 + 17) / 2\$

5

Step

After simplification

S = 20 units

6

Formula

Use Heron’s formula to find the area

\$A = \sqrt (s( s-a) (s-b) (s-c))\$

7

Step

Substitute the value in the formula

\$A = \sqrt (20( 20-8) (20-15) (20-17))\$

8

Step

After simplification

\$\sqrt (20 times 12 times 5 times 3)\$

9

Step

After simplification

\$A = \sqrt 3600\$

10

Step

After simplification

A = 60 sq.units

11

Step

The area of the triangle is 60 sq.units.

12
