How do you solve a triangle with only 2 sides known and related angles?
In a triangle with angles A, B,C and sides a, b, c with side a opposite angle A, side b opposite angle B, and side c opposite angle C: If you know 2 of the angles (b and c), the third (a) can be calculated as the sum of the angles must be 180°: a = 180° - (b + c) If you know 2 of the sides (b and c) and the angle between them (A), the third side (a) opposite the angle A can be calculated using the cosine rule: a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2 b c cos A If you know one side (a) and the angle opposite it (A), then if a side (b) is known, the angle opposite it (B) can be calculated, or if an angle (C) is known the side (c) opposite it can be calculated, using the sine rule: (sin A)/a = (sin B)/b = (sin C)/c = 1/(2R) where R is the radius of the circumcircle of the triangle.

What is an angle?
An angle consists of two rays or lines having the same endpoint (vertex). An angle is formed when two rays meet at an endpoint. The endpoint is called the vertex of the angle. The measure of an angle tells how far one side is turned from the other side -0 degrees is no turn and 360 degrees is one full turn. You can name angles by how their measures compare to 90 degrees or 180 degrees. There are 4 types of angles, acute angle, right angle, obtuse angle, and straight angle. An acute angle is an angle that measures less than 90 degrees. A right angle is an angle that measures exactly 90 degrees. A straight angle measures exactly 180 degrees.

How is sine calculated?
If you have an angle then the length of the side OPPOSITE that angle divided by the length of the HYPOTENUSE. (O/H) (HYPOTENUSE is the side opposite the 90 degree angle) or (y/x) and a lot of other cool ways.

How do you know if a two triangles are congruent?
There are 4 tests that can be used, depending upon what you have:1) SSS (Side-Side-Side) - all three corresponding sides of the triangles are equal.2) AAS (Angle-Angle-Side) - two corresponding angles and one corresponding side are equal3) SAS (Side-Angle-Side) - two corresponding sides and the *ENCLOSED* angle are the same4) RHS (Right angle-Hypotenuse-Side) - The triangles are Right-angled with Hypotenuse and corresponding side equalIn test 2, if two angles are given then the third angle can be calculated, thus the order does not matter and ASA(Angle-Side-Angle) is equivalent and also proves congruency.Note the importance in test 3 that the angle is enclosed between the corresponding sides. If it is not enclosed, the triangles may be congruent, but they may also NOT be congruent. In this case the test you are using is Angle-Side-Side (ASS - which is what you would be to say that the triangles are congruent).Note that RHS is a special case of ASS (the only one which guarantees congruency) in that the angle MUST be a right angle (90°); this means that the third side of both triangles can be calculated using Pythagoras and RHS is effectively SSS.
How is Angle Side Side impossible?
Most people call it side side angle, not angle side side.
What is the meanings of sss asa aas and sas?
It is a maths term about making triangles SSS; Side,Side,Side ASA; Angle,Side,Angle AAS; Angle,Angle,Side SAS; Side,Angle,Side
What are the three methods of proving triangles congruent?
SSS- side side side SAS- side angle side ASA- angle side angle There is also: AAS- angle angle side For right triangles: HL- hypotenuse leg
What is the type of congruence between the triangles shown?
side- angle- side
What is side angle angle theorem?
Any two angles of a triangle determine the third angle. As a result, the side angle angle theorem is equivalent to the angle side angle theorem.
