if it works, it works.

can't complain.

on behalf of everyone, thank you!

no you're good reference solution was just wrong :P

mauro-1, just curious, how do you type that using "math" font?

yup, I definitely made a mistake

oh no, my solution is wrong :P

changing it now

EDIT: changed, is it better now?

is this cheating though? 🤨

oh, you're quite near all right.

man, i think you should finish what you started...

i'm just kidding though, if you don't want to, thanks for attempting my kata anyway :)

ignore the edge cases first. (e.g. where sides are undefined/complex)

try writing out a series of simultaneous equations for the side lenghts of the triangle.

i'm afraid i can't really give you any more hints though, as that would make the solution too obvious already.

however, if i were in your shoes, i would try asking someone else, like a friend or a teacher/professor, see if they can help a little bit.

remember, this is a right triangle. we can find the area of that quite easily, no?

however, if you don't know what Heron's formula is, I would really suggest reading up about it; it's quite simple to understand, and there's no harm in doing more research.

Good luck though, all the best!

after about two weeks of on and off stuggling, and even though EOY exam (finals) are coming up soon (today is 17-9-2924), i have completed this kata.
thank you, yushi.py for creating this, you know, im pretty sure you are going to overtake me in the leaderboards soon. :)
and to everyone reading this, have a great rest of your day, week, and year.

wish i could vote this kata as 'extremely satisfying' :)

• this problem only requires knowledge of basic algebra
• condense your code into 1 line and use a lambda expression.
• then a little bit of python magic can be used :)

for real though, I could not have thought of that formula by myself. At least I got it to work.. :]
