Description

You are given a positive integer array sides of length 3.

Determine if there exists a triangle with positive area whose three side lengths are given by the elements of sides.

If such a triangle exists, return an array of three floating-point numbers representing its internal angles (in degrees), sorted in non-decreasing order. Otherwise, return an empty array.

Answers within 10-5 of the actual answer will be accepted.

 

Example 1:

Input: sides = [3,4,5]

Output: [36.86990,53.13010,90.00000]

Explanation:

You can form a right-angled triangle with side lengths 3, 4, and 5. The internal angles of this triangle are approximately 36.869897646, 53.130102354, and 90 degrees respectively.

Example 2:

Input: sides = [2,4,2]

Output: []

Explanation:

You cannot form a triangle with positive area using side lengths 2, 4, and 2.

 

Constraints:

  • sides.length == 3
  • 1 <= sides[i] <= 1000

Solutions

Solution 1: Sorting + Math

We first sort the array sides\textit{sides} in non-decreasing order, and denote the three side lengths as aa, bb, and cc, where abca \le b \le c.

According to the triangle inequality, if a+bca + b \le c, then these three sides cannot form a triangle with positive area, so we return an empty array directly.

Otherwise, the three sides can form a valid triangle. By the law of cosines, we have:

cosA=b2+c2a22bc\cos A = \frac{b^2 + c^2 - a^2}{2bc} cosB=a2+c2b22ac\cos B = \frac{a^2 + c^2 - b^2}{2ac}

Therefore, we can compute angles AA and BB separately. Finally, using the fact that the sum of the internal angles of a triangle is $180^\circ$, we get:

C=180ABC = 180^\circ - A - B

Finally, we return the three internal angles.

The time complexity is O(1)O(1), and the space complexity is O(1)O(1).

Python3

class Solution:
    def internalAngles(self, sides: list[int]) -> list[float]:
        sides.sort()
        a, b, c = sides
        if a + b <= c:
            return []
        A = degrees(acos((b**2 + c**2 - a**2) / (2 * b * c)))
        B = degrees(acos((a**2 + c**2 - b**2) / (2 * a * c)))
        C = 180 - A - B
        return [A, B, C]

Java

class Solution {
    public double[] internalAngles(int[] sides) {
        Arrays.sort(sides);
        int a = sides[0], b = sides[1], c = sides[2];
        if (a + b <= c) {
            return new double[0];
        }
        double A = Math.toDegrees(Math.acos((b * b + c * c - a * a) / (2.0 * b * c)));
        double B = Math.toDegrees(Math.acos((a * a + c * c - b * b) / (2.0 * a * c)));
        double C = 180.0 - A - B;
        return new double[] {A, B, C};
    }
}

C++

class Solution {
public:
    vector<double> internalAngles(vector<int>& sides) {
        sort(sides.begin(), sides.end());
        int a = sides[0], b = sides[1], c = sides[2];
        if (a + b <= c) {
            return {};
        }
        double A = acos((1.0 * b * b + 1.0 * c * c - 1.0 * a * a) / (2.0 * b * c)) * 180.0 / acos(-1.0);
        double B = acos((1.0 * a * a + 1.0 * c * c - 1.0 * b * b) / (2.0 * a * c)) * 180.0 / acos(-1.0);
        double C = 180.0 - A - B;
        return {A, B, C};
    }
};

Go

func internalAngles(sides []int) []float64 {
	sort.Ints(sides)
	a, b, c := sides[0], sides[1], sides[2]
	if a+b <= c {
		return []float64{}
	}
	A := math.Acos(float64(b*b+c*c-a*a)/float64(2*b*c)) * 180 / math.Pi
	B := math.Acos(float64(a*a+c*c-b*b)/float64(2*a*c)) * 180 / math.Pi
	C := 180 - A - B
	return []float64{A, B, C}
}

TypeScript

function internalAngles(sides: number[]): number[] {
    sides.sort((a, b) => a - b);
    const [a, b, c] = sides;
    if (a + b <= c) {
        return [];
    }
    const A = (Math.acos((b * b + c * c - a * a) / (2 * b * c)) * 180) / Math.PI;
    const B = (Math.acos((a * a + c * c - b * b) / (2 * a * c)) * 180) / Math.PI;
    const C = 180 - A - B;
    return [A, B, C];
