How it's calculated

Area = base × height ÷ 2
Heron: s = (a + b + c) ÷ 2, Area = √(s(s − a)(s − b)(s − c))
Two sides and angle: Area = ½ × a × b × sin C

Finds a triangle's area three ways: from a base and its perpendicular height, from all three sides (Heron's formula) or from two sides and the angle between them. Three sides only make a triangle if each is shorter than the other two together. Angles are in degrees.
