Convert to Degrees in Different Formats and Calculate Grid Square

You can use any one of the 3 formats below to convert to the other 2 formats. The first option is to Convert from Degrees in DD-MM-SS format to the other 2 formats. The second option is to Convert from Degrees and Decimal Degrees like 31.6882 and -93.4486 to the other 2 formats. North and East are Positive numbers and South and West are Negative numbers. The third option is the Maidenhead Grid Square and you enter either a 4 or 6 character Grid Square and it calculates the other 2 formats. The Convert button converts the Maidenhead Grid Square to the 2 Degree formats. The Reset button clears and rebuilds the page.

Calculate Sides of Triangles and Angles

When you are putting up a tower or working with other ham radio related items that require the lengths of the sides of triangles or their angle in degrees, this program can do the calculations for you.

This calculator is designed to give the two unknown factors in a right triangle, assuming two factors are known. This calculator is for a right triangle only! The factors are the lengths of the sides and one of the two angles, other than the right angle. All values should be in positive values but decimals are allowed and valid. Fill in two (only two) values then click on Calculate. The other two other modifiable values will be filled in, along with the angle 3 field. In a triangle, all interior angles total to 180 degrees. No two angles can total to 180 degrees or more. Angle C is always 90 degrees; angle 3 is either angle B or angle A, whichever is NOT entered. Angle 3 and Angle C fields are NOT user modifiable.

Again, this right triangle calculator works when you fill in 2 fields in the triangle angles, or the triangle sides. Angle C and angle 3 cannot be entered.
