Answer: [tex]26.14\text{ mm}^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
By Heron's formula ,the area of a triangle is given by :-
[tex]A=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}[/tex] , where s is semi-perimeter of triangle and a,b ,c are the sides of the triangle.
Given : a=9 mm, b=6 mm, and c=12 mm.
Then , semi-perimeter:[tex]s=\dfrac{a+b+c}{2}[/tex]
[tex]s=\dfrac{9+6+12}{2}=13.5[/tex]
Now, the area of triangle will be :-
[tex]A=\sqrt{13.5(13.5-9)(13.5-6)(13.5-12)}\\\\\Rightarrow\ A=\sqrt{13.5\cdot4.5\cdot7.5\cdot1.5}\\\\\Rightarrow\ A=26.1426375869\text{\ mm}^2\approx26.14\text{ mm}^2[/tex]
