        The general form to calculate the triangle is:


        square root of (s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c))


        where, "s" is the semi-perimeter of the triangle = (a+b+c)/2


        and a,b and c are the sides of a given triangle.


        Other areas for special triangles are generalized form of this form.


        Hope this helped you to some extent.
