The law of sines and cosines can be used to solve for missing sides and angles of triangles when certain information is given. The law of sines relates the ratios of sides to opposite angles, while the law of cosines can be used when two sides and the included angle or all three sides are known. Some example problems demonstrate using these laws to find lengths and distances, such as calculating the measurement of the third wall of a triangular garden or the distance between two planes given their flight paths and distances from the starting point.

In general, the law of sines is defined as the ratio of
side length to the sine of the opposite angle. It holds
for all the three sides of a triangle respective of their
sides and angles.
Formulas
missing side:

missing angle:
sin A/a = sin B/b = sinC/c
Use the law of sines to find
the length of the side x.
7 sin(46.5°) = x sin(39.4°) 7
(0.725) = x (0.635)
5.078 = x (0.635)
x=8
The Law of Cosines is used to find the remaining parts of an
oblique (non-right) triangle when either the lengths of two sides
and the measure of the included angle is known (SAS) or the
lengths of the three sides (SSS) are known.
When do we use the Law of Cosines?
- SSS (Contains three sides)
- SAS (Contains two sides and an included angle)
Formulas
A triangular garden has 3 sides. The first wall of flower is mostly made of
aurum and is 72 meters long. The second wall of flower is mostly made of
bellflowers and is 50 meters long. If Angle 0 between the two walls of flower
is equal to 49°, find the measurement of the third wall of flower.

Two planes fly from a point A. The angle between their two flight paths is
60 degrees. one plane has flown 55 kilometers from point A and the other
has flown 69 kilometers from point A. How far apart are the two planes at
