Area of triangle

The area of a triangle is the area enclosed inside the three sides. Given three sides of the triangle, we can find the area of the triangle.

Formula

To calculate the area of a triangle using three sides, you can use the following formula.

Area of triangle = \({\ \sqrt{ s ( s - a )( s - b )( s - c )}\ }\)
