What is the sine rule in trigonometry?

Back

The sine rule states that in any triangle, the ratio of the length of a side to the sine of its opposite angle is constant: a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C).

What is the Pythagorean theorem?

Back

The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (a and b): a² + b² = c².
