  • Named after Heron of Alexandria (10 AD), a Greek mathematician
2

Step-by-Step Application

  • Step 1: Identify the three sides a, b, and c
  • Step 2: Calculate semi-perimeter s = (a+b+c)/2
  • Step 3: Find (s-a), (s-b), and (s-c)
3

Worked Examples and Applications

  • Example 1: Triangle with sides 40m, 32m, 24m gives area 384 m²
  • Example 2: Equilateral triangle with side 10cm gives area 25√3 cm²
  • Example 3: Isosceles triangle with sides 8cm, 5cm, 5cm gives area 12 cm²
4

Special Cases and Variations

  • Equilateral triangles: all sides equal, can use alternative formula
  • Isosceles triangles: two sides equal, simpler calculations
  • Right triangles: can verify using basic area formula
