The 28 pages that link to Heron's formula, each with the reason it gives.
TriangleRelated: It calculates area without requiring a measured height or angle.
Law of cosinesRelated: Together, the side lengths determine both angle information and area.
Triangle areaRelated: It computes area when side lengths are known but no height is given.
SemiperimeterRelated: It uses the semiperimeter to express area as √[s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)].
Euler's inequalityRelated: It can express the area term used to compare the two radii.
Incenter–excenter lemmaRelated: Area and semiperimeter determine the inradius and exradii.
