The Law of Sines states that the ratio of the length of a side of a triangle to the sine of the angle opposite that side is constant for all three sides and angles in the triangle. It can be expressed as: a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C).

What is the Law of Cosines?
Back
The Law of Cosines relates the lengths of the sides of a triangle to the cosine of one of its angles. It is expressed as: c² = a² + b² - 2ab*cos(C).

What is the relationship between the sides and angles in a triangle?
Back
In any triangle, the larger the angle, the longer the side opposite that angle. Conversely, the smaller the angle, the shorter the side opposite it.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
When is it appropriate to use the Law of Cosines?
Back
The Law of Cosines is appropriate to use when you know two sides and the included angle (SAS) or all three sides (SSS) of a triangle.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the formula for finding the area of a triangle using the Law of Sines?
Back
The area of a triangle can be found using the formula: Area = (1/2) * a * b * sin(C), where 'a' and 'b' are two sides and 'C' is the included angle.
