Triangles
Triangles are defined by the length of the three sides and the three angles between them. To fully characterize a triangle, you need to know at least three of the six items. (If you only know the three angles, you also need at least one side to get the overall scale).
Law of sines: $$\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C}$$
Law of cosines: $$c^2 = a^2+b^2-2\,a\,b\cos(C) $$
Area (Heron's Formula): $$\textrm{half perimeter} = p = (a + b + c)\,/\,2 $$ $$\textrm{area} = \sqrt{p\,(p-a)\,(p-b)\,(p-c)}$$
For right triangles: $$\sin A=\frac{\textrm{opposite}}{\textrm{hypotenuse}}=\frac{a}{\,c\,}$$ $$\cos A=\frac{\textrm{adjacent}}{\textrm{hypotenuse}}=\frac{b}{\,c\,}$$ $$\tan A=\frac{\textrm{opposite}}{\textrm{adjacent}}=\frac{a}{\,b\,}=\frac{\sin A}{\cos A}$$
Drag the vertices of the triangle and see the effects!
