The Heron's formula is:
`A= sqrt(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c))`
where s is the semi-perimeter of triangle, and a, b and c are the length of the sides.
The semi-perimeter of the given triangle is:
`s=(1+1/2+3/4)/2=(9/4)/2=9/8`
Then, plug-in `s=9/8` , `a=1` , `b=1/2` and `c=3/4` to the Heron's formula.
`A=sqrt(9/8(9/8-1)(9/8-1/2)(9/8-3/4))=sqrt(9/8(1/8)(5/8)(3/8))`
`A=sqrt(135/4096)`
`A=(3sqrt(15))/64`
Therefore, the area of the triangle is `(3sqrt15)/64` .
