Triangle Area from Two Angles and Interior Side

vCalc Reviewed
A=c2sin(β)sin(α)2sin(360o-α-β)
(α)Angle 1
(β)Angle 2
(c)Interior Side

The Area of a Triangle Based on Two Angles and the Interior Side calculator computes the area of a triangle given the measurement of two of the triangle’s angles and the dimension of the interior side.

INSTRUCTIONS:  Choose units and enter the following: :

  • (α) Angle 1/attachments/e6cb9072-da27-11e2-8e97-bc764e04d25f/TriangleArea3-illustration.png
  • (β)  Angle 2
  • (c) Length of Side in between them.

Area of a Triangle (A): The calculator computes the area of the triangle in square meters (m2).  However, this can be automatically converted to other area units (e.g. square feet) via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

The formula for the area of a triangle based on two angles and the length of the side in between them is:

     A=c2sin(β)sin(α)2sin(2π- α-β)

where:

  • A = Area of triangle
  • α = one interior angle
  • β = second interior angle
  • c = length of side between angles


A triangle is a polygon with three sides, three vertices (corners), and three angles. Triangles can be classified based on the lengths of their sides and the measures of their angles as follows:

By Side Lengths:

  • Equilateral Triangle: All three sides are equal in length.
  • Isosceles Triangle: Two sides are equal in length.
  • Scalene Triangle: All three sides have different lengths.

By Angle Measures:

  • Acute Triangle: All three angles are less than 90 degrees.
  • Right Triangle: One angle is exactly 90 degrees.
  • Obtuse Triangle: One angle is greater than 90 degrees.

The sum of the interior angles of any triangle always adds up to 180 degrees.
