Geometry Tool - Triangles

[tkel86]

For some time now I have this tool online but now I have made some improvements and I think it is very useful for both technic and system builders.

I hope you like it and find it useful.

Let me know if you have any ideas to improve it.

Nice tool! I will check it today for myself.

Cool little tool. I particularly like how it's so quick to use. One glance at an approximate angle and you find results immediately. An advantage of the Technic version of the app is that you can see smaller similar triangles because the pin holes match the holes in the long green beam. These are harder to see in the system version.

I particularly like the "near fits".

I don't know if you pan to extend the applet in any way, but one thing that slightly bugs me personally is that the measurements are taken as "beam length", i.e. including the end holes. I'd like to see an option where the 13, 17, 21 from your image is replaced by 12, 16, 20 (the distances between the centers of the relevant holes), because that's how I work, also because you immediately notice that 12, 16, 20 has a common divisor 4 and can therefore be "reduced" to 3, 4, 5. Also it's easy to check that indeed 12^2 + 16^2 = 20^2, which is why the triangle "works". Calculations such as these require an extra, non-intuitive, step if you work with 13, 17, 21.

But I understand that others may prever to use beam lengths rather than hole distances, so I think it'd be best if it were a toggled option that can be set on or off, just like the system/technic button.

Very useful tool! This helps a lot for some of my projects! Thanks for sharing!

Wow. I will definitely bookmark that page, I will use this a lot for some of my buggy builds and others. I am gonna use this for my current project as well. Thanks a ton for making this!

Very cool and useful.

One thing that I would like to see added is the ability to choose liftarms, like if I wanted an angled liftarm I could put that in instead of a straight beam.
