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 = 6 cm, b = 8 cm and c = 10 cm.

Secret messages can be encoded by using a code and an encoding matrix. If we have the code: and an encoding matrix E, we can encode a message by taking every two letters of the message, converting them to their corresponding numbers, creating a 2 × 1 matrix, and then multiplying each two numbers by E. The message may be unscrambled with a decoding matrix which is the inverse of the coding matrix, E-1. Determine if the given pair of encoding matrices are inverses of each

other. and
