解析 · Solution

Solution 1

We know the semi-perimeter of △ABC\triangle ABC is 29+29+422=50\displaystyle \frac{29+29+42}{2} = 50. Next, we use Heron's Formula to find that the area of the triangle is just 50(50−29)2(50−42)=50⋅212⋅8=420\sqrt{50(50-29)^2(50-42)}=\sqrt{50 \cdot 21^2 \cdot 8}=420. Splitting the isosceles triangle in half, we get a right triangle with hypotenuse 29 and leg 21. Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we know the height is 292−212=20\sqrt{29^2-21^2}=20. Now that we know the height, the area is (20)(42)2=\dfrac{(20)(42)}{2} =.
