Use Law of cosines when…. Hint #1. . Y. ou are given a triangle with three sides (SSS). . Hint #2. You are given a triangle with two sides and an included angle (SAS). Sines. &. Law of Cosine. Law of . Sines. The ratio of the Sine of one angle and the length of the side opposite is equivalent to the ratio of the Sine of another angle and its side opposite’s length. .

A bridge is to be built across a small lake from a gazebo to a dock (see figure). The bearing from the gazebo to the dock is S 41.  W. From a tree 100 meters from the gazebo, the bearings to the gazebo and the dock are S 74 E and S 28 E, respectively. Find the distance from the gazebo to the dock.. By Brit Caswell. Law of Sines. The law of sines creates a ratio between the sine of an angle. and the length of the side opposite that angle.. Pg. 523 #1 . Pg. 523 #2 Think, Pair, Share. Law of Cosines. Sec. 5.5. Deriving the Law of . Sines. A. A. B. B. C. C. c. c. a. a. b. b. h. h. In either triangle:. In the top triangle:. In the bottom triangle:. But, . so each of these last two. e. xpressions are equal!!!. and . The Law of Cosines. Not to be bleak…. We know how to solve a right triangle. But what do we do when the triangle is . oblique. ?. You apply the . Law of . Sines. . You can solve an oblique triangle if you know the measures of two angles and a non-included side . The Law of Sines was good for. ASA - two angles and the included side . AAS - two angles and any side. SSA - two sides and an opposite angle. (being aware of possible ambiguity). Why would the Law of Sines . You used trigonometric ratios to solve right triangles. . Use the Law of Sines to solve triangles.. Use the Law of Cosines to solve triangles.. Law of . Sines. The Law of . Sines. can be used to find side lengths and angle measures for any triangle (. Hopefully, you remember these from last year (you were required to memorize ten of them) plus SOH CAH TOA.. If not, you need to know the reciprocal and quotient identities which are in the blue box on pg A17, and the Pythagorean, Addition, and Double-Angle Formulas which are inside the back cover of your books.. ObjectivesGiven a triangle and three quantities ASA SAS SSS SSA AAS of data about the triangle use the law of sines or the law of cosines to determine the three remaining unknownsDiscussionEvery trian
