Land Area Calculation in India

In this construction video tutorial, you will learn the detail process for measuring the land area at construction site.

To measure the area, Heron’s formula is used here.

Heron's formula alias Hero’s formula is titled after Hero of Alexendria, a Greek Engineer and Mathematician in 10 - 70 AD. This formula is employed to determine the area of a triangle with the 3 side lengths. To determine the area, no arbitrary choice of side is need as base or vertex as origin.

Heron's formula defines that the area of a triangle whose sides contain lengths a, b, and c is

where s denotes the semiperimeter of the triangle; that is,

Let △ABC is taken as the triangle having sides QR as a, RS as b, QS as c.

Based on the above, the area is determined.
