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.
