Area of Triangles
You know that Area = base x height / 2, but what other ways are there to find the area of a triangle? Brace yourself for some potent formulae.
Which of the following triangles has a larger area:
- triangle A with side lengths \( 13, 13, 10 \), or
- triangle B with side lengths \( 13, 13, 24\, ?\)

In a square \(ABCD\), \(E\) and \(F\) are the midpoints of sides \(AB\) and \(AD\), respectively. A point \(G\) is taken on segment \(CF\) in such a way that \(2CG=3FG\).
If the side of the square is \(2\), then what is the area of \(\triangle{BEG}\)?

In triangle \(\triangle ABC\), \(BE\) and \(CF\) are medians. \(BE=9\text{ cm}\), \(CF=12\text{ cm}\). If \(BE\) is perpendicular to \(CF\), find the area of the triangle \(\triangle ABC\) in \(\text{ cm}^2\).
