Example Data Table

Mode Known values Sample input Main output
SSS Three sides a = 7, b = 8, c = 9 All angles, area, perimeter
SAS Two sides and included angle b = 10, c = 12, A = 40 Missing side and remaining angles
ASA / AAS Two angles and one side A = 50, B = 60, a = 9 Remaining side lengths and angle C
RHS Right triangle data C = 90, A = 35, c = 15 Legs, acute angle, area

Formula Used

Law of Cosines

Use this when three sides are known, or when two sides with the included angle are known.

a² = b² + c² − 2bc cos(A)

b² = a² + c² − 2ac cos(B)

c² = a² + b² − 2ab cos(C)

Law of Sines

Use this when one side and its opposite angle are known, together with other angle data.

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

Angle Sum Rule

The interior angles of every triangle add to 180 degrees.

A + B + C = 180

Right Triangle Rule

For right triangles, the Pythagorean theorem links the legs and hypotenuse.

hypotenuse² = leg₁² + leg₂²

Area Formulas

Heron’s formula is useful after all three sides are known.

Area = √[s(s − a)(s − b)(s − c)]

s = (a + b + c) / 2

How to Use This Calculator

Choose the solving mode that matches your available data. Enter only the values needed for that mode. Use side labels a, b, and c opposite angles A, B, and C. For a right triangle, select which angle is 90 degrees. Then press the calculate button.

The result section appears above the form. It shows solved sides, angles, area, perimeter, heights, medians, and triangle classification. The solution steps explain which rule was used first. The graph then plots the solved triangle with simple coordinates.

Use the export buttons to save your result table as CSV or PDF. The example data table can help you test the page quickly. Increase decimal places when you need more precision for study, checking homework, drafting, or engineering estimates.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does SSS mean?

SSS means side, side, side. You already know all three side lengths. The calculator then finds every angle and all related triangle measurements.

2. What does SAS mean?

SAS means side, angle, side. The angle must be between the two known sides. That lets the calculator use the Law of Cosines correctly.

3. When should I use ASA or AAS?

Use ASA or AAS when you know two angles and one side. The tool first finds the third angle, then uses the Law of Sines.

4. What is RHS mode?

RHS is for right triangles. One angle is fixed at 90 degrees. You can solve it with two sides or with one acute angle and one side.

5. Why must angles add to 180 degrees?

That is a basic triangle rule in Euclidean geometry. If your entered angles do not fit that rule, the triangle is invalid and cannot be solved.

6. Can this calculator find area too?

Yes. After the triangle is solved, the page calculates area, perimeter, semi perimeter, heights, medians, inradius, and circumradius automatically.

7. What if my values are inconsistent?

The page checks for impossible triangles, such as bad side lengths or invalid angle totals. It then shows a clear message instead of incorrect results.

8. Why is the graph useful?

The graph gives a quick visual check. It helps confirm the solved shape, compare side balance, and support classroom explanation or report screenshots.
