About the Triangle Calculator

Enter three sides, or two sides and the angle between them, to find the missing sides and angles, plus area and perimeter. It uses the laws of sines and cosines and Heron's formula.

Formulas

  • Heron: area = √(s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)), s = half perimeter
  • Cosine rule: c² = a² + b² − 2ab cos C

Handy for geometry homework, carpentry and land measurement.
