3D triangle area from vertices Calculator
This calculator computes the 3D triangle area from vertices: exact formula A = ½|AB×AC|, worked example A(0,0,0), B(3,0,0), C(0,4,3) → A = 7.5 cm².

How the 3D triangle area from vertices Calculator Works
The calculator applies the exact formula A = ½·|AB⃗ × AC⃗|. Worked example: A(0,0,0), B(3,0,0), C(0,4,3) → |cross| = 15 → A = 7.5 cm². Keep every input in one unit system and the result follows in square units (m², ft², cm²); full precision is kept until the final rounding. All side lengths must share one unit or the area comes out scaled wrongly.
