Spherical Triangle Solutions
Spherical Triangle Solutions
This Demonstration solves and visualizes a spherical triangle, when angular values for three of its six parts are known. If more than one solution exists, alternative solutions are also calculated.
A corner angle is the angle formed by the sides meeting at that corner. A side angle is the angle at the sphere center that subtends that side.
How to use: Select the combination of known corners and sides with the radio buttons. Then adjust the angular values with the sliders to see the solution.
