7.1 - 7.2: Heron's Formula and Triangle Areas

  • Heron's Formula is used when the height of a triangle is unknown but all three sides are given
  • Semi-perimeter (s) is half the perimeter: s = (a + b + c)/2
  • Area = √[s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)] square units

7.3: Heron's Formula for Quadrilaterals

  • To find the area of a quadrilateral using Heron's formula, divide it into two triangles using a diagonal
  • Method: Draw a diagonal to create two triangles, calculate area of each using Heron's formula, then add them
  • Area of Quadrilateral ABCD = Area of Triangle ABC + Area of Triangle ACD (when divided by diagonal AC)

7.4: Surface Area of Cuboids and Cubes

  • Cuboid: A 3D solid with 6 rectangular faces, 12 edges, and 8 vertices; defined by length (l), breadth (b), and height (h)
  • Cube: Special cuboid where l = b = h; all faces are squares
  • Total Surface Area (TSA): Sum of areas of all 6 faces
4

7.5: Volume of Cuboids and Cubes

  • Volume: The measure of space occupied by a 3D solid, expressed in cubic units (cm³, m³, etc.)
  • Volume = Base Area × Height
  • For Cuboid: V = l × b × h (length × breadth × height)
