Answer:
Third side = 8.34 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
The perimeter of a triangle, P = 22 cm
One side of a triangle, b = 9 cm
The area of the triangle, A = 20.976 cm²
The formula for the area of a triangle is given by :
[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times b\times h\\\\h=\dfrac{2A}{b}\\\\h=\dfrac{2\times 20.976}{9}\\\\h=4.66\ cm[/tex]
Perimeter = Sum of all sides
9 cm + 4.66 cm + x = 22
x = 22 - 13.66
x = 8.34 cm
So, the third side of the triangle is 8.34 cm.
