Pythagoras would be proud! But if you don't know who Pythagoras is, you
probably don't need this program. Ancient Greeks notwithstanding, most
people do not appreciate the mathematical beauty underlying the simple
triangle. If you yearn to become enlightened, though, this is the place
to start!
ANYANGLE takes the drudgery out of capitalizing on the mathematical
elegance of the triangle. If you provide a minimum amount of data about
a triangle, this program computes the rest, solving for unknown angles
or side lengths given what you have available.
Even if you're not a surveyor or trigonometry buff, you could use this
program to calculate the height of the trees in your yard, plan your
next woodworking project more rationally, or even landscape in the Greek
tradition (Thomas Jefferson did, the hard way!).
Triangle aficionados will appreciate the analysis section of the
program which provides such esoterica as area, perimeter, altitude,
coordinates of vertices, and data about the inscribed circle and
circumcircle.
