Enter a positive side length to complete the triangle.

Ratios

short : long : hypotenuse = 1 : sqrt(3) : 2

How to Use It

  1. Choose which side you know.
  2. Enter a positive length.
  3. Read the other side lengths, area, and perimeter in the result panel.

Worked Example

If the short leg is 5, the long leg is 5 sqrt(3) = 8.660254 and the hypotenuse is 10.

The area is 5 x 8.660254 / 2 = 21.650635 and the perimeter is about 23.660254.

Notes

This calculator uses the exact special-triangle ratios directly, so it does not depend on approximate angle measurements.
