Question:

A second formula for determining the area of a triangle (called Heron’s formula) is

A = √[s(s -a)(s -b)(s -c)]

where s = 1/2 (a + b + c) and a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides of the triangle. Use Heron’s formula to determine the area of right triangle ABC and check your answer using the formula A = 1/2 ab.
