Triangle Area Calculator (Heron's Formula)
Calculate triangle area from three side lengths using Heron's formula.
Formula and method
This calculator computes Area directly in your browser without sending data to an external server.
Mathematical formula
- Area:
(() => { if(a+b<=c || a+c<=b || b+c<=a) return NaN; let s=(a+b+c) ÷ 2; return √(s × (s-a) × (s-b) × (s-c)); })()
Variables and parameters
- Side a (a): default value 3.
- Side b (b): default value 4.
- Side c (c): default value 5.
Some formulas are undefined for certain input combinations (such as division by zero or logarithms of non-positive numbers). In those cases the live tool displays an alert instead of NaN.
