Answer:

[tex]A=6\sqrt{5}\ units^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Heron's Formula is a method for calculating the area of a triangle when you know the lengths of all three sides.  

so

[tex]A=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}[/tex]

where

a, b and c are the length sides of triangle

s is the semi-perimeter of triangle

we have

[tex]a=9\ units,b=4\ units,c=7\ units[/tex]

Find the semi-perimeter s  

[tex]s=\frac{9+4+7}{2}=10\ units[/tex]

Find the area of triangle

[tex]A=\sqrt{10(10-9)(10-4)(10-7)}[/tex]

[tex]A=\sqrt{10(1)(6)(3)}[/tex]

[tex]A=\sqrt{180}\ units^2[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]A=6\sqrt{5}\ units^2[/tex]

The area of the  triangle should be [tex]\sqrt[6]{5} units^2[/tex]

Calculation of the area of the triangle:

Since In △XYZ , XZ=9 , YZ=4 , and XY=7 .

So here heron formula should be applied

[tex]A = \sqrt{s(s -a) (s-b)(s-c)}[/tex]

Here

a, b and c are the length sides of triangle

s is the semi-perimeter of the triangle

The semi-perimeter should be [tex]= (9 + 4 + 7)\div 2 = 10[/tex]

So, the area of the triangle should be

[tex]= \sqrt{10(10-9)(10-4)(10-7)}\\\\= \sqrt{10(1)(6)(3)} \\\\= \sqrt{180}[/tex]

So,

[tex]\sqrt[6]{5} units^2[/tex]

Hence, The area of the  triangle should be [tex]\sqrt[6]{5} units^2[/tex]
