This program is a good illustration of all four of the functions covered in the lesson, plus a few additional functions.
The formula is the well known two step formula which first calculates the intermediate value S, which is half the sum of the sides (half the perimiter in effect).
S = (a + b + c) / 2
Then S is used to calculate the area, which is the square root of the product of S, S - a, S - b, and S - c.
Area = (S*(S - a)*(S - b)*(S - c))½
