📐 Right‑Angle Triangle Field Calculator
A practical offline field tool for surveyors and engineers to quickly compute the third side of a right‑angled triangle.
Ideal for marking right angles in the field using methods like 3‑4‑5 triangle or for custom dimensions.
✨ Features
🧮 Triangle Computation
- Enter any two sides → the tool computes the third side automatically.
- Calculates all triangle properties:
- Base (a)
- Height (b)
- Hypotenuse (c)
- ∠ at base (θ), ∠ at height (φ), Right angle (90°).
- Uses Pythagoras theorem in real time.
🎨 Interactive Visualization
- Live triangle sketch updates with each input.
- Computed side highlighted in sky‑blue glow.
- Displays side lengths and angles directly on sketch.
- Draws right‑angle marker at corner.
🖥️ UI & Usability
- 🌗 Dark/Light theme toggle (remembers preference).
- 🚦 Error detection for invalid inputs (e.g., hypotenuse shorter than legs).
- Input highlighting:
- Recently entered values = green highlight.
- Auto‑computed side = blue highlight.
- Animated “⚡ sparks” effect on computed side for visibility.
📑 Formula & Explanation
- Shows formula, substitution, calculation, and result for transparency.
- Example:
Formula: c² = a² + b²
Substitution: c² = 6² + 8²
Calculation: √(36 + 64)
Result: c = 10
