Triangles by three Elements

Triangles are defined by three external properties (sides or angles) if one of the following congruencies is met:

Given three external properties (sides or angles) of a triangle, the program calculates the sides, the angles, the hauteurs, the medians and the angle bisectors, the perimeter and the area, as well as the centers and the radii of the incircle and the circumcircle of the triangle.

In addition the program draws the triangle with its incircle and its circumcircle.

If you enter two sides and the angle opposite of the shorter side, you will get two solutions if they exist.

Example 1:

Given:  a=6, b=4 and α=60°

   Vertices : A(1|1)         B(7,899|1)     C(3|4,4641)

    Angles : 60°               35,2644°       84,7356°     
 hauteurs : 3,98313       5,97469         3,4641       
 Medians : 4,77472       6,148             3,75513      
   Bisectr. : 4,38551       6,11664         3,5464

    Incircle : O(3,44949|2,41421)       r i = 1,41421

       Area : A = 11,9494   Perimeter : u = 16,899
