:
34.9152062474
.
„
[
γ

The result is
γ
:

You should have the values of the three angles listed in stack levels 3 through
1. Press

to move to the next variables menu. To calculate the area use:
„
[
A
]. The calculator first solves for all the other variables, and then
finds the area as A:
7.15454401063.
Note
: When a solution is found, the calculator reports the conditions for the
solution as either Zero, or
Sign Reversal
. Other messages may occur if the
calculator has difficulties finding a solution.
