Formulas Used

The calculator uses standard geometric formulas to determine angles. Here are some of the key formulas:

Triangle Angle Formula

For a triangle with sides a, b, and c, the angles can be calculated using the Law of Cosines:

cos(A) = (b² + c² - a²) / (2bc)

cos(B) = (a² + c² - b²) / (2ac)

cos(C) = (a² + b² - c²) / (2ab)

Quadrilateral Angle Formula

For a quadrilateral with angles A, B, C, and D:

A + B + C + D = 360°

Angle Bisector Formula

For a triangle with sides a and b, and angle C between them:

Angle bisector length = √[ab(1 - (c²/(a+b)²))]

Worked Examples

Let's look at a practical example of how to use this calculator.

Example 1: Triangle Angles

Suppose you have a triangle with sides of lengths 5, 6, and 7 units. You want to find all three angles.

Select "Triangle angles" from the calculation type dropdown.
Enter 5 for side a, 6 for side b, and 7 for side c.
Click "Calculate".

The calculator will return the three angles of approximately 53.13°, 61.06°, and 65.81°.

Example 2: Quadrilateral Angles

For a quadrilateral with angles of 90°, 100°, and 80°, you need to find the fourth angle.

Select "Quadrilateral angles" from the calculation type dropdown.
Enter 90 for angle A, 100 for angle B, and 80 for angle C.
Click "Calculate".

The calculator will show the fourth angle as 90°.

Note

All angle calculations are based on standard geometric principles. For complex construction scenarios, additional measurements or calculations may be required.
