What this calculator does

Input known side lengths and included angle C. The calculator applies the Law of Cosines to solve the third side, computes missing angles, and evaluates trigonometric functions.

functions

Formula & method

c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos(C); a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C); Area = ½ab sin(C)

Assumptions & notes

  • The Law of Cosines generalizes the Pythagorean theorem to arbitrary triangles.
  • The sum of internal angles in Euclidean space is always 180° (π radians).
  • Heron's formula calculates triangle area purely from its three side lengths.
