1. **Problem:** Calculate the area and perimeter of a triangle with sides 15.1 cm, 25.2 cm, and 10.9 cm, correct to one decimal place.
2. **Formula:**
- Perimeter $P = a + b + c$
- Area using Heron's formula: $$s = \frac{a+b+c}{2}$$
$$\text{Area} = \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}$$
3. **Calculate the perimeter:**
$$P = 15.1 + 25.2 + 10.9 = 51.2\text{ cm}$$
4. **Calculate the semi-perimeter:**
$$s = \frac{51.2}{2} = 25.6\text{ cm}$$
5. **Calculate the area:**
$$\text{Area} = \sqrt{25.6(25.6-15.1)(25.6-25.2)(25.6-10.9)}$$
$$= \sqrt{25.6 \times 10.5 \times 0.4 \times 14.7}$$
$$= \sqrt{1581.504}$$
$$\approx 39.77\text{ cm}^2$$
6. **Round the area and perimeter to one decimal place:**
- Area $\approx 39.8\text{ cm}^2$
- Perimeter $= 51.2\text{ cm}$
**Final answer:**
- Area = 39.8 cm²
- Perimeter = 51.2 cm
Triangle Area Perimeter 085283
