Angles are shown in degrees. Lengths use the same unit you entered.
How it works
- The height equals the square root of the hypotenuse squared minus the base squared.
- The angle between the base and hypotenuse equals the arccosine of the base divided by the hypotenuse.
- The area equals the base times the height divided by two.
- The hypotenuse is the longest side, so enter a hypotenuse larger than the base.
