Calculate another triangle

How did we calculate this triangle?

1. Use Law of Cosines

$a = 31 ; ; b = 96 ; ; beta = 90° ; ; ; ; b**2 = a**2 + c**2 - 2bc cos( beta ) ; ; 96**2 = 31**2 + c**2 -2 * 96 * c * cos (90° ) ; ; ; ; c**2 -8255 =0 ; ; p=1; q=-3.79640507736E-15; r=-8255 ; ; D = q**2 - 4pr = 0**2 - 4 * 1 * (-8255) = 33020 ; ; D>0 ; ; ; ; c_{1,2} = fraction{ -q ± sqrt{ D } }{ 2p } = fraction{ ± sqrt{ 33020 } }{ 2 } = fraction{ ± 2 sqrt{ 8255 } }{ 2 } ; ; c_{1,2} = 1.89820253868E-15 ± 90.857030548 ; ;$
$c_{1} = sqrt{ 8255} = 90.857030548 ; ; c_{2} = - sqrt{ 8255} = -90.857030548 ; ; ; ; (c -90.857030548) (c +90.857030548) = 0 ; ; ; ; c>0 ; ;$

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.

$a = 31 ; ; b = 96 ; ; c = 90.86 ; ;$

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

$p = a+b+c = 31+96+90.86 = 217.86 ; ;$

3. Semiperimeter of the triangle

$s = fraction{ o }{ 2 } = fraction{ 217.86 }{ 2 } = 108.93 ; ;$

4. The triangle area using Heron's formula

$T = sqrt{ s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) } ; ; T = sqrt{ 108.93 * (108.93-31)(108.93-96)(108.93-90.86) } ; ; T = sqrt{ 1983263.75 } = 1408.28 ; ;$

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

$T = fraction{ a h _a }{ 2 } ; ; h _a = fraction{ 2 T }{ a } = fraction{ 2 * 1408.28 }{ 31 } = 90.86 ; ; h _b = fraction{ 2 T }{ b } = fraction{ 2 * 1408.28 }{ 96 } = 29.34 ; ; h _c = fraction{ 2 T }{ c } = fraction{ 2 * 1408.28 }{ 90.86 } = 31 ; ;$

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

$a**2 = b**2+c**2 - 2bc cos( alpha ) ; ; alpha = arccos( fraction{ a**2-b**2-c**2 }{ 2bc } ) = arccos( fraction{ 31**2-96**2-90.86**2 }{ 2 * 96 * 90.86 } ) = 18° 50'22" ; ; beta = arccos( fraction{ b**2-a**2-c**2 }{ 2ac } ) = arccos( fraction{ 96**2-31**2-90.86**2 }{ 2 * 31 * 90.86 } ) = 90° ; ; gamma = arccos( fraction{ c**2-a**2-b**2 }{ 2ba } ) = arccos( fraction{ 90.86**2-31**2-96**2 }{ 2 * 96 * 31 } ) = 71° 9'38" ; ;$

7. Inradius

$T = rs ; ; r = fraction{ T }{ s } = fraction{ 1408.28 }{ 108.93 } = 12.93 ; ;$

8. Circumradius

$R = fraction{ a }{ 2 * sin( alpha ) } = fraction{ 31 }{ 2 * sin 18° 50'22" } = 48 ; ;$
