To find the area of a triangle given its three sides, we use **Heron's formula**:
\[
A = \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}
\]
where:
- \( a = 5 \), \( b = 6 \), and \( c = 9 \)
- \( s \) is the **semi-perimeter**, calculated as:
\[
s = \frac{a + b + c}{2} = \frac{5 + 6 + 9}{2} = \frac{20}{2} = 10
\]
Now, applying Heron's formula:
\[
A = \sqrt{10(10 - 5)(10 - 6)(10 - 9)}
\]
\[
A = \sqrt{10 \times 5 \times 4 \times 1}
\]
\[
A = \sqrt{200}
\]
\[
A = 10\sqrt{2} \approx 14.14
\]
Thus, the area of the triangle is **\( 10\sqrt{2} \) or approximately 14.14 square units**.

To find the area of the triangle, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
In the triangle you provided:
- The base is \(9\) (the length at the bottom).
- The height is \(5\) (the vertical line from the top vertex to the base).
Now, plug in the values:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 9 \times 5
\]
Calculating this:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 45 = 22.5
\]
Thus, the area of the triangle is **22.5 square units**.
