Geometry Problem 103. Equilateral Triangle Area, Interior Point, Heron.
Level: High School, College, SAT Prep.

In the figure below, given an equilateral triangle ABC, D is an interior point. If AD = d, BD = e, CD = f, and \(s=\dfrac{d+e+f}{2}\), prove that the area S of triangle ABC is:
\(S=\dfrac{1}{2} (\dfrac{d^2\sqrt 3}{4}+\dfrac{e^2\sqrt 3}{4}+\dfrac{f^2\sqrt 3}{4}+3\sqrt {s(s-d)(s-e)(s-f)} )\).
