Derivation of Heron's / Hero's Formula for Area of Triangle

For a triangle of given three sides, say a, b, and c, the formula for the area is given by
 

$A = \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}$

 

where s is the semi perimeter equal to P/2 = (a + b + c)/2.

Derivation / Proof of Ptolemy's Theorem for Cyclic Quadrilateral

Ptolemy's theorem for cyclic quadrilateral states that the product of the diagonals is equal to the sum of the products of opposite sides. From the figure below, Ptolemy's theorem can be written as
 

$d_1 d_2 = ac + bd$

Derivation of Formula for Area of Cyclic Quadrilateral

For a cyclic quadrilateral with given sides a, b, c, and d, the formula for the area is given by
 

$A = \sqrt{(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)(s - d)}$

 

Where s = (a + b + c + d)/2 known as the semi-perimeter.

001 A wire of given density and total mass

Problem 001
A certain wire that weighs 8.5 g/cc has a total mass of 155 kg.

  1. What is the density of the wire in kg/m3?
  2. Find the volume of the wire in cubic centimeter.
  3. If the total length of the wire is 1500 m, find the cross-sectional area in square millimeters.
