Triangle Calculator for TI-84

Compute missing triangle measures from standard input combinations. Review steps, exports, graphs, and examples easily. Ideal for homework practice and calculator verification sessions daily.

Calculator Input

Use side labels opposite matching angles, just like standard triangle notation.

SSS Inputs

SAS Inputs

Use sides a and b with included angle C.

ASA / AAS Inputs

Enter angles A and B plus one known side.

SSA Inputs

Use angle A, opposite side a, and side b. This case may produce two triangles.

Right Triangle Inputs

Mode Inputs Area Perimeter Triangle Type
SSS a = 3, b = 4, c = 5 6 12 Right Scalene
SAS a = 7, b = 8, C = 60° 24.2487 22.5498 Acute Scalene
Right Triangle a = 5, b = 12 30 30 Right Scalene

About This Triangle Calculator

This page helps you solve triangles from several common input patterns. It works well for homework review, quick geometry checks, and calculator verification. The notation follows the standard convention: side a is opposite angle A, side b is opposite angle B, and side c is opposite angle C.

The calculator supports SSS, SAS, ASA or AAS, SSA, and right-triangle solving. That makes it useful for many classroom cases, including the ambiguous SSA case that can produce two valid answers. When two solutions exist, both solutions appear in separate result blocks.

Along with the missing sides and angles, the tool also returns area, perimeter, semiperimeter, inradius, circumradius, altitudes, and medians. These extra outputs help when you want more than a basic answer and need a fuller geometric summary.

The graph section plots the solved triangle using coordinate geometry. This gives a quick visual check and can help you compare whether the solved shape matches your expectations. The CSV and PDF buttons make it easier to save results for notes, assignments, or revision sheets.

Formula Used

Law of Cosines: This is used in SSS and SAS cases.

c² = a² + b² − 2ab cos(C)

a² = b² + c² − 2bc cos(A)

b² = a² + c² − 2ac cos(B)

Law of Sines: This is used in ASA, AAS, and SSA cases.

a / sin(A) = b / sin(B) = c / sin(C)

Heron’s Formula: This is used to find area from three sides.

s = (a + b + c) / 2

Area = √(s(s − a)(s − b)(s − c))

Right Triangle Rule: This is used in the right-triangle mode.

c² = a² + b²

Other Measures:

Perimeter = a + b + c

Inradius = Area / s

Circumradius = abc / (4 × Area)

Altitude to side a = 2 × Area / a

How to Use This Calculator

FAQs

1. Which triangle cases does this calculator support?

It supports SSS, SAS, ASA or AAS, SSA, and right-triangle cases. That covers most classroom triangle-solving situations and many calculator checking tasks.

2. Can the SSA option return two answers?

Yes. The SSA case can be ambiguous. If two valid triangles exist, the calculator displays both solutions separately so you can compare them clearly.

3. Does the tool work with radians?

Yes. Select radians in the angle unit field before entering angles. The final solved angles are still shown in degrees for easy reading.

4. What does the graph show?

The graph shows the solved triangle in coordinate form. It helps confirm side relationships, overall shape, and whether the result matches your expected geometry.

5. Why is side c placed on the base in the graph?

The graph uses a standard coordinate setup for easy plotting. Side c is placed on the horizontal axis, and the third vertex is calculated from the solved dimensions.

6. What extra measurements are included?

Besides sides and angles, the calculator returns area, perimeter, semiperimeter, inradius, circumradius, altitudes, medians, and triangle classifications.

7. Can I save my results?

Yes. After solving a triangle, you can export the result table as a CSV file or create a PDF summary directly from the page.

8. What input errors should I avoid?

Avoid impossible side lengths, angle sums of 180 degrees or more, and a hypotenuse smaller than a leg. Invalid combinations will show an error message.
