Heron's formula gives a method of finding the area of a triangle if the lengths of its sides are known. Suppose that a, b, and c are the 1 (a +b+c). Then the 2 lengths of the sides. Let s denote one-half of the perimeter of the triangle (called the semiperimeter), that is, s = area of the triangle is A = Vs(s- a)(s - b)(s – c). Find the area of an island in the form of a triangle if the sides of this triangle measure approximately 15 mi, 7 mi, and 9 mi. The area of the triangle is approximately (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to one decimal place as needed.)

In Exercises 44 and 45, use the formula from Exercise 43. Similar triangles were used to find h and H. A container of yogurt has the shape of a frustum of a cone. With the lower base having diameter length 6 cm and the upper base having diameter length 8 cm, the volume of such a container 7.5 cm tall can be determined by using H=30 cm and h=22.5 cm. Find its volume. A frustum of a cone is the portion of the cone bounded between the circular base and a plane parallel to the base. With dimensions are indicated, show that the volume of the frustum of the cone is V=13R2H13rh2
