The area of the triangle formed by his path is 34971.98 ft sq to the nearest hundredth.
<h3>What is the Heron's formula?</h3>
The Heron's formula is given as;
√s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)
where s is half the perimeter of the triangle
WE have been given that horse gallops 200ft, turns and trots 350ft, turns again and travels 410ft to return to the point he started from.
Perimeter of the triangle is given as = 200 + 350 + 410 = 960 ft
Semi perimeter = 960 ft/ 2 = 480 ft
Area = √s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)
Area = √480 (480 -200)(480 -350)(480 -410)
Area = √480 (280)(130)(70)
Area = √480 (2548000)
Area = 34971.98
The area of the triangle formed by his path is 34971.98 ft sq to the nearest hundredth.

The complete question is
A horse gallops 200ft, turns and trots 350ft, turns again and travels 410ft to return to the point he started from. What is the area of the triangle formed by his path? round to the nearest hundredth.
Set up a proportion. If 12 3/5 feet can be traveled in one minute, then make that a fraction. 12 3/5 over one equals X over 30. Cross multiply 12 3/5×30 equals 1 X and solve.
Step-by-step explanation:
MARK A BRAINLESS THIS ANSWER IS CORRECT
First we need to establish the fact that angles on a straight line ALWYS add up to 180
So, we solve the equation for x which turns out to be 3
But,were not done. The question asks us to find the value of the angle BOC
so we substitute the value of x into the equation for BOC (which is 6x+29)
And then your answer is 47 degrees
