Frequently asked questions

Why does it say my triangle is invalid?

Each side must be shorter than the sum of the other two. Sides 2, 3 and 10 cannot close up, because 2 + 3 is less than 10.

How is the area found from three sides?

It uses Heron's formula: with semi-perimeter s, the area is the square root of s times (s-a) times (s-b) times (s-c). No height is needed.

What are the triangle types it can show?

By sides: equilateral, isosceles or scalene. By angle: acute, right or obtuse. A 3, 4, 5 triangle, for example, is scalene and right.
