Answer:

  3.6 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Heron's formula is usually used for calculating triangle area from side lengths.

The semiperimeter is ...

  s = (7.2 +1.2 +6.6)/2 = 7.5

Then the area is ...

  A = √(s(s -f)(s -g)(s -h)) = √(7.5(0.3)(6.3)(0.9)) = √12.7575

  A ≈ 3.57176 cm²

The area of ΔFGH is about 3.6 square centimeters.
