The correct Answer is:
To find the area of a triangle given the lengths of its medians, we can use the formula: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{4}{3} \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)} \] where \( s \) is the semi-perimeter of the triangle formed by the medians \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the lengths of the medians**: - Let \( a = 13 \) cm, \( b = 14 \) cm, and \( c = 15 \) cm. 2. **Calculate the semi-perimeter \( s \)**: \[ s = \frac{a + b + c}{2} = \frac{13 + 14 + 15}{2} = \frac{42}{2} = 21 \text{ cm} \] 3. **Substitute the values into the area formula**: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{4}{3} \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)} \] 4. **Calculate \( s-a \), \( s-b \), and \( s-c \)**: - \( s - a = 21 - 13 = 8 \) - \( s - b = 21 - 14 = 7 \) - \( s - c = 21 - 15 = 6 \) 5. **Substitute these values into the area formula**: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{4}{3} \sqrt{21 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6} \] 6. **Calculate the product inside the square root**: \[ 21 \times 8 = 168 \] \[ 168 \times 7 = 1176 \] \[ 1176 \times 6 = 7056 \] 7. **Now calculate the square root**: \[ \sqrt{7056} \] - To simplify \( 7056 \), we can factor it: \[ 7056 = 2^4 \times 3^2 \times 7^2 \] - Therefore, \( \sqrt{7056} = 2^2 \times 3 \times 7 = 4 \times 3 \times 7 = 84 \). 8. **Substitute back into the area formula**: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{4}{3} \times 84 = \frac{336}{3} = 112 \text{ cm}^2 \] ### Final Answer: The area of the triangle is \( 112 \text{ cm}^2 \). ---
