I am delving into some of the graphics capabilities in Excel and would like to see some other ideas...

Thanks,

This will draw a triangle based upon the values in C9,10,11 and indicate the area in C13. The values should be 0.1 to about 4, to fit on the sheet. JSW

The required sheet formulas are:

I1: Point3x
I2: =((C9*C9)+(C11*C11)-(C10*C10))/2*C11
J1: Point3y
J2: =SQRT((C9*C9)-(I2*I2))
K1: Area
K2: =C11*J2/2
L1: X
L2: 0
L3: 0
L4: =I2
M1: Y
M2: 0
M3: 0
M4: =J2
N1: NodeX
N2: =INT((L2*100)+P2)
N3: =INT((L3*100)+P2)
N4: =INT((L4*100)+P2)
O1: NodeY
O2: =INT((M2*100)+Q2)
O3: =INT((M3*100)+Q2)
O4: =INT((M4*100)+Q2)
P1: StartPosX
P2: 200
Q1:StartPosY
Q2: 100
B18: =IF(ISERROR(C13)=TRUE," Try a smaller length!","")

B19: =IF(AND(OR(C9+C10<=C11,C9+C11<=C10,C11+C10<=C9)*C9+C10+C11=0)," Note: A triangle of zero area cannot be calculated!",IF(OR(C9+C10<=C11,C9+C11<=C10,C11+C10<=C9)," Note: The length of one side must be less than the sum of the other two sides."," Note:"))
C13: =K2

Sheet Lables:
B6: Enter the Length of the sides of
B7: a triangle in the boxes below!
B9: Side 1 =
B10: Side 2 =
B11: Side 3 =
B13: Area =

If you add all this to Sheet1 and copy the Macros to Module1 and run the code once the macro buttons will be drawn automatically, hit Re-Set and add your test lengths. The Calculate button will draw the resulting triangle. JSW
