Triangle Area Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator computes the area of a triangle when you know two sides and the included angle (no right angle).
Purpose: It helps in geometry calculations, construction planning, and land measurement for non-right-angled triangular areas.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the area by multiplying half the product of two sides by the sine of their included angle.
Details: Accurate area calculation is essential for material estimation, land surveying, architectural design, and various engineering applications.
Tips: Enter the lengths of two sides in meters and the included angle in degrees (must be between 0 and 180). All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: Why can't the angle be 180 degrees?
A: At 180 degrees, the sides would be colinear and wouldn't form a triangle.
Q2: Does this work for any type of triangle?
A: Yes, as long as you know two sides and the included angle, this formula works for all triangle types.
Q3: What if I have a right-angled triangle?
A: You can still use this formula (with 90° angle), but the simpler formula (1/2 × base × height) would also work.
Q4: How precise should my angle measurement be?
A: The more precise your angle measurement, the more accurate your area calculation will be.
Q5: Can I use different units?
A: Yes, but all length units must be the same (e.g., all in feet), and the area will be in square units of that measurement.
