Trigonometry and triangle solver
Sin, cos, tan and their inverses in degrees or radians, and a triangle solver for SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS and the ambiguous SSA case.
Inputs
Enter any three values, at least one of them a side; leave the rest empty. Angle A faces side a.
Results
Methodology
Conventions
- Angle A is opposite side a, B opposite b and C opposite c. Give any three values including at least one side.
- Two sides and an angle not between them (SSA) can have two, one or no triangles; every valid triangle is shown.
- Functions that are undefined at an angle, such as tan 90°, are shown as undefined.
