Extension of Heron's Formula to a Spherical Triangle
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: We present an extension of the classical Heron’s formula, traditionally applied to planar triangles for calculating their areas, to spherical triangles formed by great circles on a sphere. We begin with a review of preliminary concepts and some fundamental results in spherical geometry, after which we develop the spherical version of Heron’s formula.
