Largest Area of a triangle

Question

hi i was wondering if anyone could give me a hand with this program. i am writing a program to find the largest possible area of a triange. i have this basic information so far. any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks To compute the area of a triangle use the formula: area = radical (s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)) s - (a+b+c)/2 where and a b and c are the three sides of the triangle. To calculate the length of the sides you can use the distance formula: radical (x1-x2)^2+(y1+y2)^2 x1x2 is one point y1y2 is the second point where are the coordinates of one point and is the coodinates of the second point.

sounds like a homework question at the beginning of a C#-class in school. I think we did something extremely similar actually! ;) Just create a new project in VS.NET and create a textbox (textBox1 in my case) and add the following code: private void Form1_Load(object sender System.EventArgs e) { CTriangle obTriangle = new CTriangle(); this.textBox1.Text = Convert.ToString(obTriangle.Triangle(46)); } } class CTriangle { private float m_side1; private float m_side2; private float m_result; public float Triangle(float s1 float s2) { m_side1 = s1; m_side2 = s2; m_result = (s1*s2/2f); return (m_result); } } The rest is up to you... ;);) If you're doing it in the console rewrite the code. I THINK I've got the stuff correct lol...
