How did we calculate this triangle?

1. Use Law of Cosines

a = 200 ; ; b = 150 ; ; beta = 45° ; ; ; ; b**2 = a**2 + c**2 - 2ac cos beta ; ; 150**2 = 200**2 + c**2 -2 * 200 * c * cos (45° ) ; ; ; ; c**2 -282.843c +17500 =0 ; ; p=1; q=-282.843; r=17500 ; ; D = q**2 - 4pr = 282.843**2 - 4 * 1 * 17500 = 10000 ; ; D>0 ; ; ; ; c_{1,2} = fraction{ -q ± sqrt{ D } }{ 2p } = fraction{ 282.84 ± sqrt{ 10000 } }{ 2 } ; ;
c_{1,2} = fraction{ 282.84 ± 100 }{ 2 } ; ; c_{1,2} = 141.42135624 ± 50 ; ; c_{1} = 191.421356237 ; ; c_{2} = 91.4213562373 ; ; ; ; text{ Factored form: } ; ; (c -191.421356237) (c -91.4213562373) = 0 ; ; ; ; c>0 ; ;
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 = 200 ; ; b = 150 ; ; c = 191.42 ; ;

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

p = a+b+c = 200+150+191.42 = 541.42 ; ;

3. Semiperimeter of the triangle

s = fraction{ o }{ 2 } = fraction{ 541.42 }{ 2 } = 270.71 ; ;

4. The triangle area using Heron's formula

T = sqrt{ s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) } ; ; T = sqrt{ 270.71 * (270.71-200)(270.71-150)(270.71-191.42) } ; ; T = sqrt{ 183210678.12 } = 13535.53 ; ;

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

T = fraction{ a h _a }{ 2 } ; ; h _a = fraction{ 2 T }{ a } = fraction{ 2 * 13535.53 }{ 200 } = 135.36 ; ; h _b = fraction{ 2 T }{ b } = fraction{ 2 * 13535.53 }{ 150 } = 180.47 ; ; h _c = fraction{ 2 T }{ c } = fraction{ 2 * 13535.53 }{ 191.42 } = 141.42 ; ;

6. 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{ 150**2+191.42**2-200**2 }{ 2 * 150 * 191.42 } ) = 70° 31'44" ; ; b**2 = a**2+c**2 - 2ac cos beta ; ; beta = arccos( fraction{ a**2+c**2-b**2 }{ 2ac } ) = arccos( fraction{ 200**2+191.42**2-150**2 }{ 2 * 200 * 191.42 } ) = 45° ; ;
gamma = 180° - alpha - beta = 180° - 70° 31'44" - 45° = 64° 28'16" ; ;

7. Inradius

T = rs ; ; r = fraction{ T }{ s } = fraction{ 13535.53 }{ 270.71 } = 50 ; ;

8. Circumradius

R = fraction{ a }{ 2 * sin alpha } = fraction{ 200 }{ 2 * sin 70° 31'44" } = 106.07 ; ;

9. Calculation of medians

m_a = fraction{ sqrt{ 2 b**2+2c**2 - a**2 } }{ 2 } = fraction{ sqrt{ 2 * 150**2+2 * 191.42**2 - 200**2 } }{ 2 } = 139.897 ; ; m_b = fraction{ sqrt{ 2 c**2+2a**2 - b**2 } }{ 2 } = fraction{ sqrt{ 2 * 191.42**2+2 * 200**2 - 150**2 } }{ 2 } = 180.821 ; ; m_c = fraction{ sqrt{ 2 b**2+2a**2 - c**2 } }{ 2 } = fraction{ sqrt{ 2 * 150**2+2 * 200**2 - 191.42**2 } }{ 2 } = 148.625 ; ;
