Triangle Calculator — Sides, Area & Angles

Enter three side lengths to test the triangle inequality, then calculate area and angles for a valid triangle.

How this tool works

With semiperimeter s=(a+b+c)/2, Heron's formula gives A=√[s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)]. Angles use the law of cosines.

Example

Sides 3, 4 and 5 form a valid right triangle with area 6 and angles about 36.87°, 53.13° and 90°.

Common questions

What makes three lengths a valid triangle?

Each pair of side lengths must sum to more than the remaining side.

Does this assume a right triangle?

No. It handles any valid triangle defined by three side lengths.
