HackerRank Small Triangles, Large Triangles solution in c

In this Small Triangles, Large Triangles in c programming problem solution You are given n triangles, specifically, their sides A1, B1, and C1. Print them in the same style but sorted by their areas from the smallest one to the largest one. It is guaranteed that all the areas are different.

Second solution

#include <math.h>

struct triangle
{
  int a;
  int b;
  int c;
};

typedef struct triangle triangle;
void sort_by_area(triangle* tr, int n) {
  // Sort an array a of the length n
    int *p=malloc(n*sizeof(int));

       p[i]=(a*(a-tr[i].a)*(a-tr[i].b)*(a-tr[i].c));
//formula without sqrt as areas are different guarenteed 
//because sqrt dosent work well with float values
    }
//bubble sort
    for(int i=0;i<n;i++)    
    {
