There is you and me and her. Right? Okay. So let’s examine this intelligently.

The area of a triangle can be calculated by using the old formula s = ½ (a + b + c). But there is a new method which requires placing the triangle in an X-Y plane and assigning a set of co-ordinates to each point: therefore, A(X1,Y1), B(X2,Y2), C(X3,Y3). With three equations and six variables, this presents three undetermined variables and infinite sets of solutions. Get the picture?

Hon, it is much simpler to calculate the volume of a sphere. Here, one only need know the dimension of the radius. Thus:

Formula

Therefore, if we remove the convex polygon with three segments joining three non-collinear points from the debate and turn our discussion into something more manageable, with softly curved edges and a definable radius, perhaps we will both sleep better at night.
