trigonometry-equations

Trigonometry rules to solve equations for angles and sides

Installation

Run:

npm install trigonometry-equations --save

Usage

• Construct an object mapping angles and sides to their respective objects where the key is a number in the range [0, 3) and the value is the given number.
• Pass the object to an equation function that corresponds with an appropriate mathematical rule.
• The function will return an object similar to the input except it will include a key-value pair containing the solution with full numerical precision.
