    The document discusses the Law of Sines and Law of Cosines, which are formulas used to solve for unknown sides and angles of triangles when certain information is given. The Law of Sines is used when the angles and one side of an AAS, ASA, or SSA triangle are given. The Law of Cosines can be used for both SAS and SSS triangles, when two sides and the angle between them or all three sides are known, respectively. Examples are provided to demonstrate solving for unknown parts of triangles using each formula, including multi-step problems involving finding multiple unknowns. Practice problems are also included for readers to work through applying the laws of sines and cosines.

    LAW OF SINE AND Trigonometry

    LAW OF COSINE topic


    LAW OF SINE
            It is used to solve triangular problems in which the
    given information is AAS, ASA or SSA.
    LAW OF SINE
    FOR WHAT KIND OF TRIANGLE? GENERAL
    LAW OF SINE

    FOR WHAT GIVEN PARTS?

    SSA
    LAW OF SINE

    WHAT IS THE FORMULA?


    LAW OF SINE
    LAW OF SINE sin 55°/ 10 = sin C/ 12
    sin^{-1}(12*sin 55/ 10) = C
                              C  =  79.41°

    55 + B + 79.41 = 180
                         B  =  45.41°

    sin 55°/ 10 = sin 45.41°/b


    10 * sin 45.41°/ sin 55° = b
                                     b =  8.694
    LAW OF SINE
    X° =? ,  y = ? ,  z = ?

       
                sin X    =    sin Y    =   sin Z 
                  x               y              z   

               X   +   Y   +   Z   =  180

              sin X    =    sin Y  


                 x              y      

               sin X    =   sin Z 
                  x             z    
    LAW OF SINE
    X° =? ,  y = ? ,  z = ?
    X  +  87  +  42  =  180
                          X = 51            sin X    =    sin Y    =   sin Z
                  x               y              z   

      sin 51    =    sin 87              X   +   Y   +   Z   =  180
       18.9              y      
               y  =  18.9 * sin 87  = 24.29           sin X    =    sin Y  
                               sin 51              x              y      

       sin 51    =   sin 42             sin X    =   sin Z 


         18.9             z                   x             z    
                z  =  18.9 * sin 42  = 16.27
                               sin 51
    LAW OF COSINES
       It is used to solve problems in general triangles when two consecutive sides and
    angle formed between them are given (SAS) or when all three sides (SSS) of the
    triangle are given.

           angle C = ?
    LAW OF COSINES cos (A) = [ b 2 + c 2 - a 2 ] / 2 b c
    cos (A) = [ 6 2 + 7 2 - 8 2 ] / 2*6*7
    cos (A) =  0.25
            A  = 75.5°
    Find angle A = ?
           angle B = ? cos (B) = [ a 2 + c 2 - b 2 ] / 2 a c
           angle C = ?
    cos (B) = [ 8 2 + 7 2 - 6 2 ] / 2*8*7
    cos (B) = 0.6875
            B  =  46.6

    A  +  B  +  C  = 180
    75.5° + 46.6° + C = 180
