Solved by pluggable solver: Find the area of triangle if 3 sides are given

In any triangle, If the side lengths are known then the area of the triangle can be
\n" ); document.write( " calculated by the Heron's FormulaHeron's Formula.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A+=+sqrt%28S%2A%28S-S1%29%2A%28S-S2%29%2A%28S-S3%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " Where $\"S+=+%28S1%2BS2%2BS3%29%2F2+\"$ is the semi perimeter, or half of the triangle's perimeter.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " equivalent Heron's Formula is:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A=+sqrt%28%28s1%2Bs2%2Bs3%29%2A%28s1%2Bs2-s3%29%2A%28s2%2Bs3-s1%29%2A%28s1%2Bs3-s2%29%29%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " In our case the desired value is:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"S+=+1%2F2%2A%281%2B2%2B1.66666667%29+=+2.333333335\"$
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " So, the answer is that the Area of the Triangle with given parameter is 0.831479421139079 .
