Working

Semi-perimeter s10.5
Area (Heron)√(s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)) = 20.333163
Height on side a2 × area ÷ a = 6.777721
Inradiusarea ÷ s = 1.936492
Circumradiusabc ÷ 4·area = 4.131182
Angle sum180° (always 180°)

The formula

R = abc ÷ 4A, r = A ÷ s

What always holds

  • The three angles add to 180°, without exception.
  • Any two sides must add to more than the third — the triangle inequality. Sides of 4, 5 and 12 cannot close.
  • The longest side always faces the largest angle.
  • Area = ½ × base × height for any triangle, with the height measured perpendicular to that base.

Which formula to reach for

With three sides, use Heron’s formula. With a base and its height, use ½bh. With two sides and the angle between them, use ½ab·sin C. With a right angle, the two legs are already base and height, so the area is just half their product.
