Choosing triangle types

The Triangle Solver
app has two input
forms: a general
input form and a
simpler, specialized
form for right-angled
triangles. If the
general input form is
displayed, and you
are investigating a right-angled triangle, tap

display the simpler input form. To return to the general
input form, tap

. If the triangle you are investigating

is not a right-angled triangle, or you are not sure what
type it is, you should use the general input form.
