  1. 1Semi-perimeter s = (6 + 7 + 8) ÷ 2 = 10.5
  2. 2Heron: area = √(s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)) = 20.333163
  3. 3Angles from the cosine rule
Formula
area = √(s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)), s = (a+b+c)/2

How it works

Heron's formula gives the area from three sides alone; the cosine rule then gives every angle.

Example

Sides 6, 7 and 8 give an area of 20.33 and angles of 46.6°, 57.9° and 75.5°.
