skspatial.objects.Triangle.length

Triangle.length(side: str) → float64

Return a side length of the triangle.

Side ‘a’ is the side across from vertex ‘A’. The side length is the distance between vertices ‘B’ and ‘C’.

Parameters

side: str

‘a’, ‘b’, or ‘c’.

Returns

np.float64

Side length.

Raises

ValueError

If the side is not ‘a’, ‘b’, or ‘c’.

Examples

>>> from skspatial.objects import Triangle

>>> triangle = Triangle([0, 0], [1, 0], [0, 1])

>>> triangle.length('a').round(3)
1.414
>>> triangle.length('b')
1.0
>>> triangle.length('c')
1.0

>>> triangle.length('d')
