  • the length of the side a - the side opposite to the vertex A
  • the length of the side b - the side opposite to vertex B
  • the length of the side c - the side opposite to vertex C
  • the value of the angle α at the vertex A
  • the value of the angle β at the vertex B
  • the value of the angle γ at the vertex C
  • the perimeter of the triangle
  • area of ​​a triangle

If you need something else, write in the comments, we'll add it. The formulas for calculating triangle values ​​are described under the calculator.

Calculating a triangle by the coordinates of the vertices

The lengths of the sides are found by the formula for calculating the distance between points in Cartesian coordinates
 c = l_ {AB} = \ sqrt {(x_2-x_1) ^ 2 + (y_2-y_1) ^ 2}

The angles are from the formulas for the dot product of vectors at the vertices.
\mathbf {a} \cdot \mathbf {b} =\|\mathbf {a} \|\ \|\mathbf {b} \|\cos \gamma

The perimeter is found by simply adding the lengths of the sides.
 P = a + b + c

The area of ​​a triangle is found through the determinant
S=\pm \frac{1}{2} \left| \begin{matrix} x_1 - x_3 & y_1 - y_3 \\ x_2 - x_3 & y_2 - y_3 \end{matrix} \right|=\pm \frac{1}{2} \left( (x_1 - x_3)(y_2 - y_3) - (y_1 - y_3)(x_2 - x_3) \right)
