Calculate another triangle




How did we calculate this triangle?

1. Input data entered: side a, b and c (as equilateral triangle).

a = 60 ; ; b = 60 ; ; c = 60 ; ;


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 = 60 ; ; b = 60 ; ; c = 60 ; ; : Nr. 1

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

p = a+b+c = 60+60+60 = 180 ; ;

3. Semiperimeter of the triangle

s = fraction{ o }{ 2 } = fraction{ 180 }{ 2 } = 90 ; ;

4. The triangle area using Heron's formula

T = sqrt{ s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) } ; ; T = sqrt{ 90 * (90-60)(90-60)(90-60) } ; ; T = sqrt{ 2430000 } = 1558.85 ; ;

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

T = fraction{ a h _a }{ 2 } ; ; h _a = fraction{ 2 T }{ a } = fraction{ 2 * 1558.85 }{ 60 } = 51.96 ; ; h _b = fraction{ 2 T }{ b } = fraction{ 2 * 1558.85 }{ 60 } = 51.96 ; ; h _c = fraction{ 2 T }{ c } = fraction{ 2 * 1558.85 }{ 60 } = 51.96 ; ;

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{ 60**2+60**2-60**2 }{ 2 * 60 * 60 } ) = 60° ; ; b**2 = a**2+c**2 - 2ac cos beta ; ; beta = arccos( fraction{ a**2+c**2-b**2 }{ 2ac } ) = arccos( fraction{ 60**2+60**2-60**2 }{ 2 * 60 * 60 } ) = 60° ; ; gamma = 180° - alpha - beta = 180° - 60° - 60° = 60° ; ;

7. Inradius

T = rs ; ; r = fraction{ T }{ s } = fraction{ 1558.85 }{ 90 } = 17.32 ; ;

8. Circumradius

R = fraction{ a }{ 2 * sin alpha } = fraction{ 60 }{ 2 * sin 60° } = 34.64 ; ;

9. Calculation of medians

m_a = fraction{ sqrt{ 2 b**2+2c**2 - a**2 } }{ 2 } = fraction{ sqrt{ 2 * 60**2+2 * 60**2 - 60**2 } }{ 2 } = 51.962 ; ; m_b = fraction{ sqrt{ 2 c**2+2a**2 - b**2 } }{ 2 } = fraction{ sqrt{ 2 * 60**2+2 * 60**2 - 60**2 } }{ 2 } = 51.962 ; ; m_c = fraction{ sqrt{ 2 b**2+2a**2 - c**2 } }{ 2 } = fraction{ sqrt{ 2 * 60**2+2 * 60**2 - 60**2 } }{ 2 } = 51.962 ; ;
