How do I calculate the area of a triangle in this case?
How do I calculate the area of a triangle using the following information:
- Given is a point from which three lines extend at an angle of 120° towards the corners.
- The distance between the central point and the corner points is given.
Does anyone know the formula for this case or can someone formulate it?
Example values:
Distance center-corner A = 60 cm
Distance center-corner B = 50 cm
Distance center-corner C = 30 cm
Thank you.
If Z is the center and AZ and BZ are given, the triangle AZB has the area content
A_AZB = 1/2 * AZ * BZ * sin(120°).
For the other two triangles, the surfaces are also calculated and then all three are added.
Great, thanks for the help.
