GENERAL TRIANGLE SOLUTIONS:

LB

Notes: 1. Input SSS, SAS, ASA, SAA, or SSA values


in counterclockwise order around triangle.
2. First side input, "S1", is always denoted as
"a", and may be any of the 3 sides. The
remaining 2 sides, "b" and "c", follow in
counterclockwise order around triangle.
3. Angle "L A" is angle opposite side "a".
Angle "L B" is angle opposite side "b".
Angle "L C" is angle opposite side "c".
4. Angles are input in degrees.
