Description

Area of triangle can be calculated using Heron's formula. 
In geometry, Heron's formula gives the area of a triangle when
the length of all three sides are known. The triangle exists 
if the sum of any of its two sides is greater than the third side.

C/C++

/* C Program to calculate area of triangle */
//Save it as AreaTriangle.c

#include<stdio.h>
#include<math.h>
int main(){

    float side1, side2, side3, area, s;

    printf("Enter the sides of triangle : ");
    scanf("%f%f%f",&side1,&side2,&side3);

    // Length of sides must be positive
    //The triangle exists if the sum of any of its two sides is greater than the third side.
    if (side1<0 || side2<0 || side3<0 || (side1+side2 <= side3) || side1+side3 <=side2 || side2+side3 <=side1){
        printf("Area cannot be calculated");
    }
    else{

        //Calculate semiperimeter
        s = (side1+side2+side3)/2;

        //Calaculate area
        area = sqrt(s*(s-side1)*(s-side2)*(s-side3));

        printf("Area : %.3f",area);
    }

    return 0;
}

Input:
Enter the sides of triangle : 
3
4
5

Output:
Area : 6.000
