# How do you find the Area of a Triangle in Python?

We can calculate the area of a triangle in python using Heron’s formula.

where s is the semi perimeter of the triangle that is calculated by the given formula:

s= (a+b+c)/2

and a, b and c are the lengths of three sides of the triangle.

We can calculate the area of a triangle in python using Heron’s formula.

where s is the semi perimeter of the triangle that is calculated by the given formula:

s= (a+b+c)/2

and a, b and c are the lengths of three sides of the triangle.

##### For example:
                    
# area of a triangle using python

a = 5

b = 6

c = 7

# calculate the semi-perimeter

s = (a+b+c) /2

# calculate the area

area_tri = (s*(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)) ** 0.5

print('The area of triangle is : %0.2f' %area_tri)


##### Output:

The area of the triangle is 14.70
