FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the Law of Sines?

Back

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 of the triangle. It can be expressed as: a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C).

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

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).

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the relationship between the angles and sides in a triangle?

Back

In a triangle, the larger the angle, the longer the opposite side. This relationship is fundamental in both the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines.
