Calculate another triangle




How did we calculate this triangle?

1. Calculation of the third side c of the triangle using a Law of Cosines

a = 48 ; ; b = 48 ; ; gamma = 90° ; ; ; ; c**2 = a**2+b**2 - 2ab cos gamma ; ; c = sqrt{ a**2+b**2 - 2ab cos gamma } ; ; c = sqrt{ 48**2+48**2 - 2 * 48 * 48 * cos(90° ) } ; ; c = 67.88 ; ;


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 = 48 ; ; b = 48 ; ; c = 67.88 ; ;

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

p = a+b+c = 48+48+67.88 = 163.88 ; ;

3. Semiperimeter of the triangle

s = fraction{ o }{ 2 } = fraction{ 163.88 }{ 2 } = 81.94 ; ;

4. The triangle area using Heron's formula

T = sqrt{ s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) } ; ; T = sqrt{ 81.94 * (81.94-48)(81.94-48)(81.94-67.88) } ; ; T = sqrt{ 1327104 } = 1152 ; ;

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

T = fraction{ a h _a }{ 2 } ; ; h _a = fraction{ 2 T }{ a } = fraction{ 2 * 1152 }{ 48 } = 48 ; ; h _b = fraction{ 2 T }{ b } = fraction{ 2 * 1152 }{ 48 } = 48 ; ; h _c = fraction{ 2 T }{ c } = fraction{ 2 * 1152 }{ 67.88 } = 33.94 ; ;

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{ 48**2-48**2-67.88**2 }{ 2 * 48 * 67.88 } ) = 45° ; ; beta = arccos( fraction{ b**2-a**2-c**2 }{ 2ac } ) = arccos( fraction{ 48**2-48**2-67.88**2 }{ 2 * 48 * 67.88 } ) = 45° ; ; gamma = arccos( fraction{ c**2-a**2-b**2 }{ 2ba } ) = arccos( fraction{ 67.88**2-48**2-48**2 }{ 2 * 48 * 48 } ) = 90° ; ;

7. Inradius

T = rs ; ; r = fraction{ T }{ s } = fraction{ 1152 }{ 81.94 } = 14.06 ; ;

8. Circumradius

R = fraction{ a }{ 2 * sin( alpha ) } = fraction{ 48 }{ 2 * sin 45° } = 33.94 ; ;
