The key takeaways are the Law of Sines and Law of Cosines which are used to solve triangles when certain information is known.

The two main laws used to solve triangles are the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines.

The Law of Sines is used when two angles and a side or two sides and the non-included angle are known. The Law of Cosines is used when two sides and the included angle or all three sides are known.

Law of Sines and Law

of Cosines
SOH/CAH/TOA can only be used for right-
angled triangles.
We use the Law of Sine when:
We have two angles and a side

OR

We have two sides and the non-


included angle
Given triangle ABC:
C

The sides are labelled to match


their opposite angles b a

A B
c

The Sine Rule: a b c


= =
sinA sinB sinC
We use the Law of Cosine when:

Two sides and the INCLUDED


angle (SAS)

OR

All three sides (SSS)
