    The area is 11317.51

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The sum of 2 sides must be less than the third side (largest side) for a triangle to be formed.

    b+c
    133+174 < 240

    A triangle can be formed

    To use Herons formula for the area

    We find S = 1/2 (a+b+c)

    = 1/2 (240+133+174)

    = 1/2 (547)

    = 273.5

    Area = sqrt (S (S-a) (S-b) (S-c))

    sqrt ((273.5) (273.5 - 240) (273.5-133) (273.5-174))

    sqrt ((273.5) (33.5) (140.5) (99.5))

    sqrt (128085964.4)

    11317.50699

    The area is 11317.51
