The demonstration and proof of Heron's formula can be done from elementary consideration of geometry and algebra. I will assume the Pythagorean theorem and the area formula for a triangle
where b is the length of a base and h is the height to that base.
We have
so, for future reference,
2(s - a) = - a + b + c
2(s - b) = a - b + c
2(s - c) = a + b - c
There is at least one side of our triangle for which the altitude lies "inside" the triangle. For convenience make that the side of length c. It will not make any difference, just simpler.
Let p + q = c as indicated. Then
