1) Using logarithms find the area of the following triangles :
i) a = 12.7, b = 21.5,and c = 28.6
ii) c = 426, A= 45° 48' 36", and B = 61° 2' 13"
iii) An isosceles triangle in which each of the equal sides is 14.72 in. and the vertex angle 47° 28' .

(i) s = (a + b + c)/2 = (12.7 + 21.5 + 28.6)/2 = 31.4
Area = √[s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)] = √[31.4 * (31.4 - 12.7) * (31.4 - 21.5) * (31.4 - 28.6)]
Area = √(31.4 * 18.7 * 9.9 * 2.8)
log(Area) = log [√(31.4 * 18.7 * 9.9 * 2.8)]
log(Area) = log (31.4 * 18.7 * 9.9 * 2.8)^(1/2) = (1/2) log(31.4 * 18.7 * 9.9 * 2.8)]
= (1/2) [log 31.4 + log 18.7 + log 9.9 + log 2.8] = (1/2) [1.4969 + 1.2718 + 0.9956 + 0.4472] = 2.1058
∴ Area ...
