Solve right triangle if $$$a = 7$$$, $$$b = 7$$$, $$$C = 90^{\circ}$$$

The calculator will solve the right-angled triangle if $$$a = 7$$$, $$$b = 7$$$, $$$C = 90^{\circ}$$$, with steps shown.

If the calculator did not compute something or you have identified an error, or you have a suggestion/feedback, please write it in the comments below.

Your Input

Solve the triangle, if $$$a = 7$$$, $$$b = 7$$$, $$$C = 90^{\circ}$$$.

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem: $$$c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2}$$$.

In our case, $$$c^{2} = 7^{2} + 7^{2} = 98$$$.

Thus, $$$c = 7 \sqrt{2}$$$.

According to the definition of the sine: $$$\sin{\left(A \right)} = \frac{a}{c}$$$.

Thus, $$$\sin{\left(A \right)} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$$$.

There are two possible cases:

  1. $$$A = 45^{\circ}$$$

    The third angle is $$$B = 180^{\circ} - \left(A + C\right)$$$.

    In our case, $$$B = 180^{\circ} - \left(45^{\circ} + 90^{\circ}\right) = 45^{\circ}$$$.

    The area is $$$S = \frac{1}{2} a b = \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\cdot \left(7\right)\cdot \left(7\right) = \frac{49}{2}$$$.

    The perimeter is $$$P = a + b + c = 7 + 7 + 7 \sqrt{2} = 7 \left(\sqrt{2} + 2\right)$$$.

  2. $$$A = 135^{\circ}$$$

    The third angle is $$$B = 180^{\circ} - \left(A + C\right)$$$.

    In our case, $$$B = 180^{\circ} - \left(135^{\circ} + 90^{\circ}\right) = -45^{\circ}$$$.

    This case is impossible, since the angle is nonpositive.

Answer

$$$a = 7$$$A

$$$b = 7$$$A

$$$c = 7 \sqrt{2}\approx 9.899494936611665$$$A

$$$A = 45^{\circ}$$$A

$$$B = 45^{\circ}$$$A

$$$C = 90^{\circ}$$$A

Area: $$$S = \frac{49}{2} = 24.5$$$A.

Perimeter: $$$P = 7 \left(\sqrt{2} + 2\right)\approx 23.899494936611665$$$A.
