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.
 

010 Components of force normal and tangent to hypotenuse of a triangle

Problem 010
The triangular block shown in Fig. P-010 is subjected to the loads P = 1600 lb and F = 600 lb. If AB = 8 in. and BC = 6 in., resolve each load into components normal and tangential to AC.

40 - Base angle of a growing right triangle

Problem 40
The base of a right triangle grows 2 ft/sec, the altitude grows 4 ft/sec. If the base and altitude are originally 10 ft and 6 ft, respectively, find the time rate of change of the base angle, when the angle is 45°.
