The sine rule is a comparison of ratios: (sin A)/a = (sin B)/b = (sin C)/c. The cosine rule looks similar to the theorem of Pythagoras: c2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab cos C.

What are the Differentiate the sine wave and cosine wave?

The differential of the sine function is the cosine function while the differential of the cosine function is the negative of the sine function.


Is it is necessary to be a right angle triangle to use sine rule?

No. Sine rule (and cosine rule) apply to all triangles in Euclidean space (plane geometry). A simplification occurs when there is a right angle because the sine of the right angle is 1 and the cosine is 0. Thus you get Pythagoras theorem for right triangles.


What is the difference between negative sine and cosine graphs and positive sine and cosine graphs?

The negative sine graph and the positive sine graph have opposite signs: when one is negative, the other is positive - by exactly the same amount. The sine function is said to be an odd function. The two graphs for cosine are the same. The cosine function is said to be even.

How does the tangent function relate to sine and cosine?

Tangent = sine/cosine provided that cosine is non-zero. When cosine is 0, then tangent is undefined.
