The triangle law of forces states that if two forces acting simultaneously on a point can be represented in magnitude and direction by the two sides of a triangle taken in order, then the resultant force can be represented by the third side of the triangle. This law is fundamental in vector addition, illustrating how forces can be combined to determine their resultant. Essentially, it provides a geometric method for analyzing the effects of multiple forces acting at a point.

Yes, the law of sines can be used in a right triangle. The law applies to any arbitrary triangle.
The load distribution is distributed over a certain width vs depth ratio:- as the aspect ration is changed the law of diminishing returns kicks in ie wider the triangle with shorter height will result in excessive tensile force on the bottom chord and higher compressive forces on the two acute sides. It is theoretically considered that the Isosceles triangle best makes use of this optimisation of tension and compressive forces in structures.
If three vectors form a triangle , their vector sum is zero.
You use Lami's theorem wen you triangle of forces to calculate the sides of the triangle or the angles opposite to a side.
