Triangle Calculator

You can solve any triangle from three known pieces, as long as at least one is a side. Common cases are SSS (three sides), SAS (two sides and the included angle), ASA (two angles and the included side), AAS (two angles and a non-included side), and SSA (two sides and a non-includ

What inputs does the triangle calculator accept?
You can solve any triangle from three known pieces, as long as at least one is a side. Common cases are SSS (three sides), SAS (two sides and the included angle), ASA (two angles and the included side), AAS (two angles and a non-included side), and SSA (two sides and a non-included angle). AAA (three angles only) does not pin down size, so it is rejected.
Which formulas does it use?
Law of cosines for SSS and SAS, law of sines for ASA, AAS, and SSA. Area is computed by Heron's formula when all three sides are known, or by half times two sides times the sine of the included angle otherwise. Perimeter is just the sum of the sides. The calculator picks the right formula automatically based on what you enter.
What is the ambiguous case in SSA?
When you give two sides and a non-included angle, there can be zero, one, or two valid triangles. If the side opposite the given angle is too short, no triangle exists. If it is exactly the right length, you get a right triangle. If it is between, you may get two distinct triangles (one acute, one obtuse). The calculator returns both solutions when applicable.
Why do my angles not add up to exactly 180 degrees?
Floating-point rounding. The calculator works to many decimal places internally, but displayed values are rounded for readability. If the displayed angles sum to 179.99 or 180.01, that is normal rounding error, not a calculation mistake. The internal values do sum to 180 to full precision; only the rounded display shows the discrepancy.
Where is triangle math used in practice?
Surveying and GPS triangulation, structural engineering, navigation, computer graphics (every 3D model is a mesh of triangles), and trigonometry-heavy fields like astronomy and aviation. Roof pitch calculations, ramp design, and even kitchen layouts depend on triangle relationships. Knowing how to solve any triangle from limited information is one of the most reused geometric skills.
How do I know whether my inputs form a valid triangle?
Three sides must satisfy the triangle inequality: the sum of any two sides must exceed the third. Three angles must sum to 180 degrees and each must be positive. Lengths and angles must all be positive numbers. The calculator checks these conditions and rejects impossible inputs with a clear message instead of producing nonsense.
