1. What is the ASA Triangle?

An ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) triangle is one where we know two angles and the side between them. The Law of Sines allows us to find the remaining sides and angle of such triangles.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Law of Sines:

\[ \frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C} \]

Where:

\( a, b, c \) — Sides of the triangle (length units)
\( A, B, C \) — Angles opposite to sides a, b, c respectively (degrees)

Explanation: Given two angles and the included side, we first find the third angle (since angles sum to 180°), then use the Law of Sines to find the remaining sides.

3. Importance of ASA Triangle Calculation

Details: ASA calculations are fundamental in trigonometry, navigation, architecture, and engineering where partial information about a triangle is known.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter two angles (must sum to less than 180°) and the included side. All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's the difference between ASA and AAS?
A: ASA has the side between two angles, while AAS has a side not between the two known angles. Both can be solved using the Law of Sines.

Q2: Can I use this for right triangles?
A: Yes, the Law of Sines works for all triangles, including right triangles (where one angle is 90°).

Q3: What if my angles sum to 180° or more?
A: This would violate the triangle angle sum theorem. The calculator will not return results in such cases.

Q4: Can I use radians instead of degrees?
A: The calculator currently uses degrees. For radians, you'd need to modify the angle sum check and conversion.

Q5: How accurate are the results?
A: Results are accurate to two decimal places, sufficient for most practical applications.
