Triangle Solutions
Triangle Solutions solves for the remaining sides and angles of a
triangle given the known side and angles. The upper case letters A,
B and C represent the distances. The lower case letters a, b
and c represent the angles. Distance A is the leg of the triangle
opposite the angle 'a'. Likewise, distance B and C are the legs
opposite the angles of 'b' and 'c', respectively. Enter any three
known values of the six possible parameters and the three unknowns
will be calculated and displayed. If you enter three angles, you
will be shown proportional distances since there is an infinite
number of distances that would solve a three angle triangle.
In this example, The sides A & B are known as is angle 'a'.
After entering the three parameters, press the Solve button
and the remaining three will be calculated and shown. The area in
acres or hectares and feet or meters will also be calculated and
shown. Press clear to enter data on a new triangle after the
triangle has been solved. The solution for each triangle area
is then displayed at the command line. You may press F2 to
display the command line window and view the results
