What is the Heron's Formula?
The Heron's Formula is used to determine the area of a triangle when given the lengths of the sides.
Given that the length of the sides of the triangle is a, b and c.
Let s = (a + b + c)/2
Area of triangle = √(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c))
The following diagram shows the Heron's formula to find the area of a triangle. Scroll down the page for more examples and solutions on how to use the Heron's Formula.
