In ΔABC, sides a, b, c are roots of the equation x^3 − px^2 + qx − r = 0. Prove that area of ΔABC is (1/4)(√(p(4pq − p^3 − 8r)))

It can be shown in above case that { ((a+b+c=−(−p)=p )),((ab+bc+ca=q)),(( abc=−(−r)=r)) :} ∴ s=((a+b+c)/2)=(p/2) We know that the area of triangle ▲=(√(s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c))) where a,b,c are sides and s is semiperimeter of the triangle. ▲=(√((p/2)((p/2)−a)((p/2)−b)((p/2)−c))) ▲=(√((p/2)(((p−2a)/2))(((p−2b)/2))(((p−2c)/2)))) ▲=(1/4)(√(p(p−2a)(p−2b)(p−2c))) ▲=(1/4)(√(p{p^3 −2ap^2 −2bp^2 −2cp^2 +4abp+4bcp+4cap−8abc})) ▲=(1/4)(√(p{p^3 −2p^2 (a+b+c)+4p(ab+bc+ca)−8(abc)})) ▲=(1/4)(√(p{p^3 −2p^2 (p)+4p(q)−8(r)})) ▲=(1/4)(√(p{p^3 −2p^3 +4pq−8r})) ▲=(1/4)(√(p{−p^3 +4pq−8r})) ▲=(1/4)(√(p(4pq−p^3 −8r)))
