Find area of triangle if two vectors of two adjacent sides are given

Given two vectors in form of (xi+yj+zk) of two adjacent sides of a triangle. The task is to find out the area of a triangle.
Examples:

Input:
x1 = -2, y1 = 0, z1 = -5 
x2 = 1, y2 = -2, z2 = -1 
Output: Area = 6.422616289332565
Input:
x1 = -2, y1 = 1, z1 = 5 
x2 = 1, y2 = 3, z2 = -1 
Output: Area = 8.860022573334675 

Approach: Suppose we have two vectors a(x1*i+y1*j+z1*k) and b(x2*i+y2*j+z2*k) and we know that area of triangle is given by : 

Area of triangle = (magnitude of cross product of vectors a and b) / 2 i.e |axb| / 2 
And we know a X b = (y1*z2 – y2*z1)*i – (x1*z2 – x2*z1)*j + (x1*y2 – x2*y1)*k
Then area =

Time Complexity: O(logn) as it is using inbuilt sqrt function
Auxiliary Space: O(1), no extra space is required, so it is a constant.
