Heron’s formula

Introduction to heron’s formula •

Introduction of another formula for area of a triangle • Most of us are aware with : • Area of a triangle = Where b = base and h = corresponding height of the triangle

Examples : • 1) Find the area of a triangle having sides : AB = 4 cm BC = 3 cm CD = 5 cm

Solution of Example 1) •

Continue… •

Example 2: 2) Rahul has a garden, which is triangular in shape. The sides of the garden are 13 m, 14 m, and 15 m respectively. He wants to spread fertilizer in the garden and the total cost required for doing it is Rs 10 per m 2. He is wondering how much money will be required to spread the fertilizer in the garden

Solution of Example 2) • Given a = 13 m , b = 14 m and c = 15 m So , we will find the area of the triangle by using Heron’s formula.

Continue. .

Continue … • Given the rate = Rs 10 per m^2 • Now : • Total cost = Rs. 10 * 84 = Rs 840/-

Area of a quadrilateral • Suppose there is a quadrilateral having sides : a , b , c and diagonal r. The diagonal d divides the quadrilateral into 2 triangles. So : Ar(ABCD)= Ar(ABD) + Ar(BCD)

Continued 1) Area of triangle : ABD Heron’s formula: Putting the values we get :

Continued. .

Solution of example As we have the formula written below for the area of a quadrilateral Where : a = 4 cm b = 3 cm c = 5 cm d = 6 cm And r (diagonal ) = 7 cm

How to find the area of an equilateral triangle

Concept based question • What equilateral triangle would have the same area as a triangle with sides 6, 8 and 10?

Solution • First of all we will find the area of the triangle having sides : a = 6 units , b = 8 units and c = 10 units
