3D triangle area (SSS) Calculator (A = ½|AB×AC|)
This calculator computes the 3D triangle area (SSS): exact formula A = ½|AB×AC|, worked example sides 3, 5, 5.831 cm (from 3D points) → A = 7.5 cm².

How the 3D triangle area (SSS) Calculator Works
The calculator applies the exact formula A = ½·|AB⃗ × AC⃗| (or 3 side lengths via Heron). Worked example: sides 3, 5, 5.831 cm (from 3D points) → 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.
