sine: sin(A) sin(B) sin(C) cosines: a2=b2+c2-2bc cos(A)
.........----- = ----- = ------
........,,,.a .......b........ c
a is side BC A is angle A sin(A) means sine of angle A
psst, theres a law of tangents too, but its so complicated that im not gonna post it here
Law of sine -
A B C------ = ------ = ------
Sin(a) Sin(b) Sin(c)
There are several topics under the broad category of trigonometry. * Angle measurements * Properties of angles and circles * Basic trigonometric functions and their reciprocals and co-functions * Graphs of trigonometric functions * Trigonometric identities * Angle addition and subtraction formulas for trigonometric functions * Double and half angle formulas for trigonometric functions * Law of sines and law of cosines * Polar and polar imaginary coordinates.
There are several cases when you would want to use the law of sines. When you have angle angle side, angle side angle, or angle side side you would use the law of sines.
cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse
Putting a question mark at the end of a phrase does not make it a sensible of even an answerable question. Sine and cosine of real numbers? Yes, they do exist. In fact, sines and cosines of complex numbers also exist. Does that answer the question?
By converting everything to sines and cosines. Since tan x = sin x / cos x, in the cotangent, which is the reciprocal of the tangent: cot x = cos x / sin x. You can replace any other variable (like thetha) for the angle.
In trigonometry sines and cosines are used to solve a mathematical problem. And sines and cosines are also used in meteorology in estimating the height of the clouds.
Yes. Look up the law of sines and the law of cosines as examples. there are also formulas that can find out the area of a non-right triangle.
Trigonometric ratios, by themselves, can only be used for right angled triangles. The law of cosines or the sine law can be used for any triangle.
Use Law of Sines if you know:Two angle measures and any side length orTwo side lengths and a non-included angle measure.Use Law of Cosines if you know:Two side lengths and the included angle measure orThree side lengths.
Law of sines or cosines SinA/a=SinB/b=SinC/c
When none of the angles are known, and using Pythagoras, the triangle is known not to be right angled.
Having sufficient angles or sides one can use either, The Law of Sines, or, The Law of Cosines. Google them.
Trigonometry mainly but also geometry, algebra.
you must know more information. Like the lengths of 2 sides. Then using Trig (law of sines or law of cosines) you can find the remaining sides and angles.
There are several topics under the broad category of trigonometry. * Angle measurements * Properties of angles and circles * Basic trigonometric functions and their reciprocals and co-functions * Graphs of trigonometric functions * Trigonometric identities * Angle addition and subtraction formulas for trigonometric functions * Double and half angle formulas for trigonometric functions * Law of sines and law of cosines * Polar and polar imaginary coordinates.
For a start, try converting everything to sines and cosines.
If it's a right triangle, use pythagorean's theorem (a2+b2=c2) to solve it. = If it's an oblique triangle, use the law of sines or cosines (see related link)
