Frequently Asked Questions about the Triangle Calculator

How many values do you need to solve a triangle?

You need at least 3 values, with at least one being a side length. Three angles alone are insufficient (infinitely many similar triangles).

What is the Pythagorean theorem?

For right triangles: a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse. This is a special case of the Law of Cosines when C = 90°.
