Calculate another triangle




How did we calculate this triangle?

1. Calculate the third unknown inner angle

alpha = 52° ; ; beta = 70° ; ; ; ; alpha + beta + gamma = 180° ; ; ; ; gamma = 180° - alpha - beta = 180° - 52° - 70° = 58° ; ;

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

c = 26.7 ; ; ; ; fraction{ a }{ c } = fraction{ sin( alpha ) }{ sin ( gamma ) } ; ; ; ; a = c * fraction{ sin( alpha ) }{ sin ( gamma ) } ; ; ; ; a = 26.7 * fraction{ sin(52° ) }{ sin (58° ) } = 24.81 ; ;

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 = 26.7 * fraction{ sin(70° ) }{ sin (58° ) } = 29.59 ; ;


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 = 24.81 ; ; b = 29.59 ; ; c = 26.7 ; ;

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

p = a+b+c = 24.81+29.59+26.7 = 81.1 ; ;

5. Semiperimeter of the triangle

s = fraction{ o }{ 2 } = fraction{ 81.1 }{ 2 } = 40.55 ; ;

6. The triangle area using Heron's formula

T = sqrt{ s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) } ; ; T = sqrt{ 40.55 * (40.55-24.81)(40.55-29.59)(40.55-26.7) } ; ; T = sqrt{ 96867.93 } = 311.24 ; ;

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

T = fraction{ a h _a }{ 2 } ; ; h _a = fraction{ 2 T }{ a } = fraction{ 2 * 311.24 }{ 24.81 } = 25.09 ; ; h _b = fraction{ 2 T }{ b } = fraction{ 2 * 311.24 }{ 29.59 } = 21.04 ; ; h _c = fraction{ 2 T }{ c } = fraction{ 2 * 311.24 }{ 26.7 } = 23.31 ; ;

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{ a**2-b**2-c**2 }{ 2bc } ) = arccos( fraction{ 24.81**2-29.59**2-26.7**2 }{ 2 * 29.59 * 26.7 } ) = 52° ; ; beta = arccos( fraction{ b**2-a**2-c**2 }{ 2ac } ) = arccos( fraction{ 29.59**2-24.81**2-26.7**2 }{ 2 * 24.81 * 26.7 } ) = 70° ; ; gamma = arccos( fraction{ c**2-a**2-b**2 }{ 2ba } ) = arccos( fraction{ 26.7**2-24.81**2-29.59**2 }{ 2 * 29.59 * 24.81 } ) = 58° ; ;

9. Inradius

T = rs ; ; r = fraction{ T }{ s } = fraction{ 311.24 }{ 40.55 } = 7.68 ; ;

10. Circumradius

R = fraction{ a }{ 2 * sin( alpha ) } = fraction{ 24.81 }{ 2 * sin 52° } = 15.74 ; ;
