This calculator finds triangle measurements for construction layouts, schoolwork, and other three-sided problems.
The interactive triangle calculator loads right here. If it hasn't appeared, refresh the page.
Enter the available side lengths, base, and perpendicular height requested by the calculator. Use consistent units, and remember that the height must meet the chosen base at a right angle.
Perimeter = side a + side b + side c. Area = base × perpendicular height ÷ 2. For a right triangle, hypotenuse = square root of (leg a² + leg b²).
A triangle with a 10-meter base, a 6-meter perpendicular height, and side lengths of 8, 8, and 10 meters has area 10 × 6 ÷ 2 = 30 square meters. Its perimeter is 8 + 8 + 10 = 26 meters.
No. The sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side. Lengths 2, 3, and 6 fail that test.
Usually not. Height is the perpendicular distance from a base to the opposite vertex, even when that line falls outside the triangle.
