g_a =(2/3)m_a =(1/3)(√(2(b^2 +c^2 )−a^2 ))=  =(1/3)(√(2(a^2 +b^2 +c^2 )−3a^2 ))=  =(1/3)(√(2×(4/3)Σm_a ^2 −3a^2 ))=  =(1/3)(√((8/3).(9/4)Σg_a ^2 −3a^2 ))=(1/3)(√(6Σg_a ^2 −3a^2 ))  ⇒3g_a ^2 =2(g_a ^2 +g_b ^2 +g_c ^2 )−a^2   ⇒a^2 =2(g_b ^2 +g_c ^2 )−g_a ^2 ⇒  a=(√(2(g_b ^2 +g_c ^2 )−g_a ^2 ))  b=(√(2(g_a ^2 +g_c ^2 )−g_b ^2 ))  c=(√(2(g_a ^2 +g_b ^2 )−g_c ^2 ))  now we can find area from:Heron′s formula.  note:Σm_a ^2 =(3/4)Σa^2 .
