Method to calculate the area of a cyclic n-gon

The area of a cyclic quadriateral, given the side lengths, is given as follows: $$ \sqrt{(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)(s-d)} $$

I want to find a similar expression, or a way of formulating an expression for a cyclic $n-gon$ given it's sides, since I want to implement it in a program.
