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.
