Calculate all properties of any triangle. Enter three sides, base & height, or two sides with the included angle. Get area, perimeter, all angles, inradius, and circumradius with step-by-step solutions.
A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. The sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180°. Key formulas include Heron's formula for area from three sides, the basic area formula (½ × base × height), and the law of cosines for finding sides and angles.

Heron's formula calculates a triangle's area using only the three side lengths: A = √(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)), where s is the semi-perimeter (a+b+c)/2. It's useful when you don't know the height.
Three sides form a valid triangle if and only if the sum of any two sides is greater than the third side. This is called the triangle inequality theorem.
The inradius (r) is the radius of the largest circle that fits inside the triangle (inscribed circle). The circumradius (R) is the radius of the circle that passes through all three vertices (circumscribed circle).
