FORMULA
a(n) = sqrt(s*(s-u)*(s-v)*(s-w)), where u=A070080(n), v=A070081(n), w=A070082(n) and s = A070083(n)/2 = (u+v+w)/2.
EXAMPLE
[A070080(25), A070081(25), A070082(25)] = [3,5,6] and s = A070083(25)/2 = (3+5+6)/2 = 7: a(25) = sqrt(s*(s-3)*(s-5)*(s-6)) = sqrt(7*(7-3)*(7-5)*(7-6)) = sqrt(7*4*2*1) = sqrt(56) = 7.48331, rounded = 7.
