We saw in the section on oblique triangles that the law of cosines and the law of sines were useful in solving for parts of a triangle if certain other parts are known. The question here is "why An explanation of the law of sines is fairly easy to follow, but in some cases we'll have to consider sines of obtuse angles.

The law of cosines for calculating one side of a triangle when the angle opposite and the other two sides are known. Can be used in conjunction with the law of sines to find all sides and angles.

The phrase about "twice a rectangle" can be understood to mean two times AC (the side on which the perpendicular falls) times AD (the straight line cut off outside by the perpendicular .) This is the same as our common expression of the law since AD is equal to AB * Cos (BAC).

The Law of Sines, The Law of Cosines, Proofs The Law of Sines establishes a relationship between the angles and the side lengths of ABC: The relationship explains the plural "s" in Law of Sines: there are 3 sines after all. Another important relationship between the side lengths and the angles of a triangle is expressed...

The Law of Cosines, Proof The Law of Cosines (interchangeably known as the Cosine Rule or Cosine Law) is a generalization of the Pythagorean Theorem in that a formulation of the latter can be obtained from a formulation of the Law of Cosines as a particular case. Since angle C is obtuse, cos(µ) is less than zero,

The law of sines is used to find angles of a general triangle. If two sides and the enclosed angle are known, it can be used in conjunction with the law of cosines to find the third side and the other two angles.
