area = Square Root ( s * (s-a) * (s-b) * (s-c))

where s is the semi-perimeter (all 3 sides added and divided by 2)

example
a triangle with sides 4 5 and 6 has a perimeter of 15 and a semi-perimeter of 7.5

area = square root (7.5 • (7.5 – 4) • (7.5 – 5) • (7.5 – 6))
area = 9.921567416…

If it's for an isocles or an equailateral triangle, split the triangle in half, find the area for each half and add them together. If it's a scalene triangle email me an example.
