Solve.If the three lengths of the sides of a triangle are known, Heron's formula can be used to find its area. If a, b, and c are the three lengths of the sides, Heron's formula for area is: A = where s is half the perimeter of the triangle, or s = (a + b + c).Use this formula to find the area of the triangle if a = 9 cm, b = 11 cm and c = 16 cm. 

A. 3 sq. cm
B. 18 sq. cm
C. 180 sq. cm
D. 18 sq. cm
