[Mesa3d-dev] Seriously off-topic question...

[<her...@ru...>]

Hello! I'm really sorry if this question bothers you in any way, but it
seems this
is the only place I can ask it and actually receive a reasonable answer.

Is there any way I can calculate the area of a triangle defined by his
vertices
(x1,y1) - (x2,y2) - (x3,y3) WITHOUT the use of SQRT() in any part of the
formula?

Thanks in advance for your answer!
