Another way to figure out a triangle (more efficient)

<?php
$a
= 10; // a
$b = 15; // b

$angle = 45// angle opposite side c

$c = (sqrt(pow($a, 2) + pow($b, 2) - $a * $b * cos(deg2rad($angle)) * 2));

// side c = 10.613894770933
?>

yes im good arent i?

Find the side of a triangle using two sides and an angle:
<?
$a = "10"; // length of side a
$b = "15"; // length of side b
$angle = "45";  // angle opposite side c

$c = (sqrt(pow($a, 2) + pow($b, 2) - $a * $b * cos(deg2rad($angle)) * 2));

// side c = 10.613894770933
?>

Convert degree to radianus, radianus to cos.

<?php

   
// Degree
   
$degree = 360;

   
// Convertion
   
print cos(deg2rad($degree));

?>
