In triangle PQR, M is the midpoint of PQ. Let X be the point on QR such that PX bisects angle QPR, and let the perpendicular bisector of PQ intersect AX at Y. If PQ = 36, PR = 22, QR = 26, and MY = 8, then find the area of triangle PQR
Apply the heron's formula directly on triangle PQR:
The semiperimeter is 36+22+262=42.
[PQR]=√42∗(6)∗(20)∗(16)=√80640=48√35.
(The [PQR] notation means area).
