The Law of Sines (8.1.1)

Question 1

• The law of sines allows you to solve for sides or angles of triangles that are not right triangles.

Answer 1

• The law of sines allows you to solve for sides or angles of triangles that are not right triangles.

Question 2

• In a triangle with sides a, b, and c and opposite angles α, ß, and γ, the law of sines states that (sin a)/a = (sin b)/b = (sin y)/c.

Alternatively, the law of sines is often written in the form

a/(sin a) = b/(sin b) = c/(sin c).

Answer 2

• In a triangle with sides a, b, and c and opposite angles α, ß, and γ, the law of sines states that (sin a)/a = (sin b)/b = (sin y)/c.

Alternatively, the law of sines is often written in the form

a/(sin a) = b/(sin b) = c/(sin c).
