Heron's formula

In geometry, Heron's formula (or Hero's formula) gives the area A of a triangle in terms of the three side lengths a, b, c. If is the semiperimeter of the triangle, the area is, It is named after first-century engineer Heron of Alexandria (or Hero) who proved it in his work Metrica, though it was probably known centuries earlier.
