Question

The area of triangle PQR is given by:
Options
A pr cos θ
B √[s(s-p)(s-q)(s-r)] where s = (p+q+r)/2
Correct Answer
C rq sin P
D pr cos θ
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Heron's formula states that the area of a triangle with sides p, q, r is √[s(s-p)(s-q)(s-r)] where s is the semi-perimeter.

Hint

This is Heron's formula for the area of a triangle.
