Use the arrow keys to change the triangle - Up and down keys to change the height of the triangle - Left and right keys to change the base of the triangle Space to get a basic idea of how everything is calculated This project calculates the length of the hypotenuse and the degrees that each angle would be. It also calculates the area of the triangle. -----Explanation----- In the game there is an explanation of how everything is calculated but I will put one here too. Note that I am note that I am only new some of these concepts in maths (I am 13) so my explanation might not be perfect. To calculate the area you simply multiple the base by the height and divide it by 2 (1/2 * Base * Height). To calculate the hypotenuse of the triangle you need to apply Pythagoras theorem. It states that A*A + B*B = C*C (note A*A is A squared). You can re-arrange this to say C = sqrt(A*A + B*B) (sqrt = square root). Using this you can calculate the hypotenuse. Lastly we must calculate the degrees of each angle. To do this I used the Arc-tan function. This function will inverse the tan function. To make this work I divided the opposite by the adjacent of the angle to be calculated. I then used the atan function (Arc-tan) to find the angle in degrees. An that is how I calculated all of the information.
