METHOD

How it is calculated

Law of cosines: c² = a² + b² − 2ab·cos γ
Law of sines: a / sin α = b / sin β = c / sin γ = 2R
Area = ½ · a · b · sin γ      r = Area / s
ASSUMPTIONS & NOTES
  • Angles in degrees; any length unit works for sides (results in the same unit).

Results are for preliminary design and checking; base the final design on the governing standard and safety factors.
