Third Angle Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator determines the third angle of a triangle when two angles are known.
Purpose: It helps students, engineers, and designers quickly find missing angles in triangular shapes.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The sum of angles in any triangle always equals 180°, so the third angle is calculated by subtracting the known angles from 180°.
Details: Proper angle calculation is essential for geometry problems, construction projects, and mechanical design where triangular shapes are involved.
Tips: Enter any two angles between 0° and 179.9° (their sum must be less than 180°). The calculator will determine the third angle.
Q1: What if I only know one angle?
A: You need at least two angles (or sides) to determine the third angle in a triangle.
Q2: Can I use this for right triangles?
A: Yes, if you know one non-right angle (90° is automatically the second angle in right triangles).
Q3: What if my angles sum to 180° or more?
A: The calculator will show no result as this would violate triangle angle sum rules.
Q4: How precise are the results?
A: Results are shown to one decimal place (0.1° precision).
Q5: Can I calculate angles from sides?
A: This version requires angle inputs. For side-based calculations, use the Law of Cosines.
