Heron's Formula Triangle Area Calculator

Heron's Formula calculates the area of a triangle when all three side lengths (\(a, b, c\)) are known.

First, verify the triangle inequalities (the sum of any two sides must be greater than the third):

\[ a + b > c,\quad b + c > a,\quad c + a > b \]

If valid, calculate the semi-perimeter \(s\):

\[ s = \frac{a + b + c}{2} \]

Then, the area \(A\) is given by:

\[ A = \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)} \]

How to use: Enter the three side lengths (positive numbers). The calculator checks if they form a valid triangle. If not, it displays "No Triangle Exists". Decimal places can be adjusted below.
