About This Tool

This triangle solver computes the area, perimeter, and all three interior angles of any valid triangle given the lengths of its three sides ($a, b, c$). It automatically checks the fundamental Triangle Inequality Theorem before applying Heron's formula and the Law of Cosines to solve the complete geometric profile.

### Fundamental Geometry & Formulas

1. **Triangle Inequality Verification:** For any valid triangle, the sum of any two sides must strictly exceed the third side: $$a + b > c, \quad a + c > b, \quad b + c > a$$ If any condition fails, the sides cannot connect in Euclidean space. 2. **Semi-Perimeter & Heron's Formula:** $$s = \frac{a + b + c}{2}$$ $$\text{Area} = \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}$$ 3. **Interior Angles via the Law of Cosines:** $$\cos(A) = \frac{b^2 + c^2 - a^2}{2bc}, \quad \cos(B) = \frac{a^2 + c^2 - b^2}{2ac}, \quad C = 180^\circ - A - B$$

### Worked Geometric Example

Given sides $a = 5$, $b = 6$, and $c = 7$: - **Perimeter:** $5 + 6 + 7 = 18$ units - **Semi-Perimeter ($s$):** $18 / 2 = 9$ units - **Heron's Area:** $$\text{Area} = \sqrt{9 \times (9 - 5) \times (9 - 6) \times (9 - 7)} = \sqrt{9 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2} = \sqrt{216} \approx 14.70\text{ sq units}$$ - **Angles:** - $\text{Angle } A = \arccos\left(\frac{36 + 49 - 25}{2 \times 6 \times 7}\right) = \arccos\left(\frac{60}{84}\right) \approx 44.4^\circ$ - $\text{Angle } B = \arccos\left(\frac{25 + 49 - 36}{2 \times 5 \times 7}\right) = \arccos\left(\frac{38}{70}\right) \approx 57.1^\circ$ - $\text{Angle } C = 180^\circ - 44.4^\circ - 57.1^\circ = 78.5^\circ$ - Sum of angles: $44.4^\circ + 57.1^\circ + 78.5^\circ = 180.0^\circ$

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if the side lengths violate the Triangle Inequality Theorem?

If any two sides do not sum to a value greater than the third side (for instance, sides 2, 3, and 6), the calculator displays an "Invalid Triangle" alert explaining that the segments cannot meet to form a closed polygon.

Does Heron's formula work for all triangles or only right triangles?

Heron's formula applies universally to any valid triangle in Euclidean geometry, including scalene, isosceles, equilateral, and right triangles, without needing to know the perpendicular altitude.

Why do the interior angles always add up to exactly 180 degrees?

In flat Euclidean geometry, the interior angles of every triangle mathematically sum to 180 degrees. The calculator determines angle C as 180° minus angles A and B to maintain numerical consistency.
