We know all sides of this triangle, so we can use Heron's formula to calculate the area.
Heron's formula states that the area of a triangle A=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}
s = \dfrac{ a + b + c }{ 2 }
s = \dfrac{ SIDES[ 0 ] + SIDES[ 1 ] + SIDES[ 2 ] }{ 2 }
s = \dfrac{ ( SIDES[ 0 ] + SIDES[ 1 ] + SIDES[ 2 ] ).toFixed( 1 ) }{ 2 }
s = S
A = \sqrt{ S \cdot ( S - SIDES[ 0 ] ) \cdot ( S - SIDES[ 1 ] ) \cdot ( S - SIDES[ 2 ] ) }
A = \sqrt{ S \cdot ( S - SIDES[ 0 ] ).toFixed( 2 ) \cdot ( S - SIDES[ 1 ] ).toFixed( 2 ) \cdot ( S - SIDES[ 2 ] ).toFixed( 2 ) }
A = ANS
