Spherical Triangle Solver This function solves any type of spherical triangle

Spherical Triangle Solver

This function solves any type of spherical triangle

% A spherical triangle has 6 basic elements: three angles (A,B,C) and three sides (a,b,c).

% Given any three of the 6 basic elements, the function finds the other three.

%

% Usage of function

% for example, Given 3 elements of a spherical triangle: a=2, b=3, C=104.4944158

%[A1, B1, A2, B2,C1,C2,a1,b1,a2,b2,c1,c2] = SphericTriangleSolver(A,B,C,a,b,c)

%[A1, B1, A2, B2,C1,C2,a1,b1,a2,b2,c1,c2] = SphericTriangleSolver(0,0,104.4944158,2,3,0)

% Attention, the unknown (A,B,c) 3 elements of the spherical triangle should be replaced with zero.

% INPUT:

% A,B,C,a,b,c element of spherical triangle. Only 3 values should be entered.

% the others must be zero.

% Inputs units must be [decimal degree]

%OUTPUT:

%

% A1, B1,C1,a1,b1,c1 are 1. solutions of the spherical triangle.

% A2, B2,C2,a2,b2,c2 are 2. solutions of the spherical triangle.

% outputs units are degrees minutes seconds [dd mm ss]

% Usage of function
