1. What is the formula for the area of a triangle using Heron's formula?

A = √(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)) · A = (1/2) * base * height · A = a + b + c · A = (a + b + c) / 3

2. In Heron's formula, what does 's' represent?

The semi-perimeter of the triangle · The area of the triangle · The height of the triangle · The longest side of the triangle

3. If a triangle has sides of lengths 7 cm, 8 cm, and 9 cm, what is the semi-perimeter 's'?

12 cm · 14 cm · 24 cm · 16 cm

4. Using Heron's formula, what is the area of a triangle with sides 5 cm, 12 cm, and 13 cm?

30 cm² · 24 cm² · 60 cm² · 36 cm²

5. What is the first step in applying Heron's formula?

Calculate the area directly · Find the semi-perimeter · Identify the longest side · Check if the triangle is right-angled
