Study Notes
Law of Sines
- The Law of Sines is a formula that relates the lengths of the sides of a triangle to the sines of its angles.
- It states that for any triangle ABC:
(\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C})
where (a), (b), and (c) are the lengths of sides opposite to angles (A), (B), and (C) respectively.
Triangle Measurements
- Calculating missing side lengths (AC, AB, BC) and angle measures (m∠C) involves using known side lengths and angles.
- Both triangle types with known angles and sides lead to applications of the Law of Sines.
Example Cases
-
For a triangle with given angle A = 118° and angle C = 22°, and side BC = 7, one can find:
- Side AC using the Law of Sines:
(\frac{AB}{\sin A} = \frac{BC}{\sin B})
- Side AC using the Law of Sines:
-
For another triangle with angles A = 51° and C = 63°, and side AB = 9, find:
- Side BC through the same application of the sine ratio.
Rounding Results
- Round all final answers to the nearest tenth for precision in side lengths and angles.
Angle Calculations
- Angles within a triangle sum up to 180°. Thus, if two angles are known, the third angle can be calculated easily:
(\text{m∠C} = 180° - (\text{m∠A} + \text{m∠B}))
Practical Applications
- Familiarity with triangle sides and angles can significantly help in solving real-world problems such as navigation, architecture, and engineering.
