The side lengths of the small triangle are half of the side lengths of the big triangle. So the side lengths are 1 2 . 5 , 1 3 and 1 4 . Using the Herons Formula, the semiperimeter, s is 2 1 2 . 5 + 1 3 + 1 4 = 1 9 . 7 5 . So the desired area is 1 9 . 7 5 ( 1 9 . 7 5 − 1 2 . 5 ) ( 1 9 . 7 5 − 1 3 ) ( 1 9 . 7 5 − 1 4 ) ≈ 7 4 . 5 5 c m 2
