Trigonometry Calculator (Right Triangle)

Enter any two of the sides or the angle of a right triangle and get the rest — the everyday shop trig for angled features, tapers, and layout.

Most shop trig is a right triangle: an angled cut, a taper, a hole offset. Enter any two known values — the opposite side, adjacent side, hypotenuse, or the angle — and the calculator solves the rest.

Enter any two values. a = opposite side, b = adjacent side, c = hypotenuse, A = the angle opposite a.

Side a

3

Side b

4

Hypotenuse c

5

Angles

36.87° / 53.13°

Frequently asked

Which side is which?
Relative to angle A: side a is opposite it, side b is adjacent to it, and c is the hypotenuse (the longest side, opposite the 90° corner). The other acute angle B is simply 90° − A.
Can I use it for tapers and angles?
Yes — enter the rise and run as the two legs to get the included angle, or enter an angle and one side to get the offsets.
