Calculate another triangle




How did we calculate this triangle?

1. Calculate the third unknown inner angle

alpha = 45° ; ; beta = 45° ; ; ; ; alpha + beta + gamma = 180° ; ; ; ; gamma = 180° - alpha - beta = 180° - 45° - 45° = 90° ; ;

2. By using the law of sines, we calculate unknown side a

c = 32 ; ; ; ; fraction{ a }{ c } = fraction{ sin alpha }{ sin gamma } ; ; ; ; a = c * fraction{ sin alpha }{ sin gamma } ; ; ; ; a = 32 * fraction{ sin 45° }{ sin 90° } = 22.63 ; ;

3. By using the law of sines, we calculate last unknown side b

fraction{ b }{ c } = fraction{ sin beta }{ sin gamma } ; ; ; ; b = c * fraction{ sin beta }{ sin gamma } ; ; ; ; b = 32 * fraction{ sin 45° }{ sin 90° } = 22.63 ; ;


Now we know the lengths of all three sides of the triangle and the triangle is uniquely determined. Next we calculate another its characteristics - same procedure as calculation of the triangle from the known three sides SSS.

a = 22.63 ; ; b = 22.63 ; ; c = 32 ; ;

4. The triangle circumference is the sum of the lengths of its three sides

p = a+b+c = 22.63+22.63+32 = 77.25 ; ;

5. Semiperimeter of the triangle

s = fraction{ o }{ 2 } = fraction{ 77.25 }{ 2 } = 38.63 ; ;

6. The triangle area using Heron's formula

T = sqrt{ s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) } ; ; T = sqrt{ 38.63 * (38.63-22.63)(38.63-22.63)(38.63-32) } ; ; T = sqrt{ 65536 } = 256 ; ;

7. Calculate the heights of the triangle from its area.

T = fraction{ a h _a }{ 2 } ; ; h _a = fraction{ 2 T }{ a } = fraction{ 2 * 256 }{ 22.63 } = 22.63 ; ; h _b = fraction{ 2 T }{ b } = fraction{ 2 * 256 }{ 22.63 } = 22.63 ; ; h _c = fraction{ 2 T }{ c } = fraction{ 2 * 256 }{ 32 } = 16 ; ;

8. Calculation of the inner angles of the triangle using a Law of Cosines

a**2 = b**2+c**2 - 2bc cos( alpha ) ; ; alpha = arccos( fraction{ b**2+c**2-a**2 }{ 2bc } ) = arccos( fraction{ 22.63**2+32**2-22.63**2 }{ 2 * 22.63 * 32 } ) = 45° ; ; beta = arccos( fraction{ a**2+c**2-b**2 }{ 2ac } ) = arccos( fraction{ 22.63**2+32**2-22.63**2 }{ 2 * 22.63 * 32 } ) = 45° ; ; gamma = arccos( fraction{ a**2+b**2-c**2 }{ 2ab } ) = arccos( fraction{ 22.63**2+22.63**2-32**2 }{ 2 * 22.63 * 22.63 } ) = 90° ; ;

9. Inradius

T = rs ; ; r = fraction{ T }{ s } = fraction{ 256 }{ 38.63 } = 6.63 ; ;

10. Circumradius

R = fraction{ a }{ 2 * sin( alpha ) } = fraction{ 22.63 }{ 2 * sin 45° } = 16 ; ;

11. Calculation of medians

m_a = fraction{ sqrt{ 2 b**2+2c**2 - a**2 } }{ 2 } = fraction{ sqrt{ 2 * 22.63**2+2 * 32**2 - 22.63**2 } }{ 2 } = 25.298 ; ; m_b = fraction{ sqrt{ 2 c**2+2a**2 - b**2 } }{ 2 } = fraction{ sqrt{ 2 * 32**2+2 * 22.63**2 - 22.63**2 } }{ 2 } = 25.298 ; ; m_c = fraction{ sqrt{ 2 b**2+2a**2 - c**2 } }{ 2 } = fraction{ sqrt{ 2 * 22.63**2+2 * 22.63**2 - 32**2 } }{ 2 } = 16 ; ;
