How does the Heron's Formula work?

Compute s = (a+b+c)/2 Then: Area = √(s·(s−a)·(s−b)·(s−c)) Then: Verify triangle inequality first Then: Result is exact for integer sides.

Can you give an example of how to use the Heron's Formula?

Example: Input a=3, b=4, c=5 gives a result of Area = 6 (right triangle).

Is the Heron's Formula free to use?

Yes — completely free with no registration, download, or subscription required. All calculations happen instantly in your browser.

Side a

Side b

Side c

Area = √(s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)) where s = (a+b+c)/2

Heron's formula calculates triangle area from three side lengths. Named after Hero of Alexandria (c. 10–70 AD), it requires no height measurement.
