Hero answered this almost 2000 years ago. It is called Heron's formula. Let s = (a+b+c)/2, where a,b,c are sides. Then the area squared equals s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c). Take the square root of that and you will have the area.

Given three sides of a triangle (a, b, c), use Heron's Formula...
Area = β[s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)]
where s = (a + b + c)/2 [the semi-perimeter]
that will work for ANY TRIANGLE !!
