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=4835.

(The [PQR] notation means area).
