Answer:

125.1 cm^2  to 1 D.P.

Step-by-step explanation:

We could use Heron's formula to do this

Area = √(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) )  where s is the  semi-perimeter and a b and c are the lengths of the 3 sides

So we have:

s = (17+17+17) / 2 = 25.5

and Area = √(25.5)(25.5 - 17)^3)

= √15660.1875

= 125.14 cm^2
