Side A of Tangential Quadrilateral is one of the sides of the four sides of the Tangential quadrilateral. A tangential quadrilateral is a quadrilateral that has an incircle, meaning all four sides are tangent to a single circle.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula calculates Side A based on the area, inradius, and the length of the opposite side (Side C) of the tangential quadrilateral.
Details: Calculating Side A is important in geometric analysis and construction of tangential quadrilaterals. It helps in determining the complete dimensions when the area, inradius, and one side are known.
Tips: Enter the area in square meters, inradius in meters, and Side C in meters. All values must be positive numbers (Side C can be zero).
Q1: What is a tangential quadrilateral?
A: A tangential quadrilateral is a quadrilateral that has an incircle tangent to all four sides.
Q2: Can Side A be negative?
A: No, Side A cannot be negative as it represents a physical length. The calculator will only produce valid positive results.
Q3: What units should I use?
A: Use consistent units throughout (meters for lengths, square meters for area).
Q4: What if I get an unexpected result?
A: Check that your input values are physically possible and that Side C is not greater than A/ri.
Q5: Can this formula be used for all quadrilaterals?
A: No, this formula is specific to tangential quadrilaterals that have an incircle.
