Heron's formula

In geometry, Heron's formula (or Hero's formula) gives the area of a triangle in terms of the three side lengths ⁠ a , {\displaystyle a,} ⁠ ⁠ b , {\displaystyle b,} ⁠ ⁠ c . {\displaystyle c.} ⁠ Letting ⁠ s {\displaystyle s} ⁠ be the semiperimeter of the triangle, ⁠ s = 1 2 ( a + b + c ) {\displaystyle s={\tfrac {1}{2}}(a+b+c)} ⁠, the area ⁠ A {\displaystyle A} ⁠ is A = s ( s − a ) ( s − b ) ( s − c ) .
