↗ Math

Acute Triangle Calculator The Acute Triangle Calculator uses the law of cosines to find the angle opposite side A from the three side lengths, then tells you whether that angle is acute. An acute triangle has all three angles below 90°. Enter the three si — free online calculator.

Formula

Rule: Sort the three sides as a ≤ b ≤ c after validating a triangle; it is acute when c² < a² + b², otherwise return Not acute.
  • Acute Triangle Calculator calculates its result from Side a, Side b, Side c. It uses the formula Calculated with the verified ST Calculator runtime.. Change any input to recalculate the result instantly.
  • The main inputs are Side a, Side b, Side c. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
  • Keep comparable quantities in compatible units whenever the formula combines or compares them.
  • Changing any input above recalculates the result with the same calculation engine used by this page.

Example: Acute Triangle

Inputs
  • Side a: 5
  • Side b: 6
  • Side c: 7

Using Side a = 3, Side b = 4, Side c = 5, the calculated result is Not acute.
