This wizard is used to calculate missing values from a right triangle.  The set of parameters includes side lengths, angles, and trigonometric functions.

 

It can be accessed by clicking on Wizard Button | Geometry and Trigonometry | Solve right triangles.

 

To calculate the missing values:

  • Enter the known values.
  • Press "Solve step".
  • Select the values you wish to calculate.
  • Press "Solve step" or "Solve all" button to see the solution process.

 

hint2 If you need an explanation for any particular step, click on the step and then click on the "Explain" button.

 

hint2 Remember that the angles to be entered must be between 0 and 90 if you are working with Degrees, or between 0 and pi/2 if you are working with Radians (see Setting solution parameters).

 

hint2 Make certain that you enter exactly the right amount of data, and also that you enter only the corresponding data values.

For example, if you enter the angle A, you can't also enter the sin(A).
