When to use the Law of Sines
• To solve an oblique triangle• Given:– Two angles and any side (AAS or ASA)– Two sides and an angle opposite one of them
(SSA or ASS)
***Always remember to keep your calculator in degree mode ***

AAS• If C=102.3 °, B=28.7°, b=27.4 • A=180-102.3-28.7 49°Since you have an angle measurement and its
opposite side you can set up the equation…

NOTE: To solve for c, you always go back to your original equation to avoid using rounded values.

ASS (Single Solution)
• If b= 795.1, c=775.6, B= 51.85°
Since side b is greater than the other given side, there is only one solution

ASS (No Solution)
• a=7, b=15, A=98°
This triangle can not be solved for any answers, which would make it NO SOLUTION.

Because the side across from the given angle is smaller than the other side, there is another set of solutions…

Lesson 6.2- Law of Cosines

When to use the Law of Cosines
• To solve an oblique triangle• Given:– Three sides (SSS)– Two sides and their included angle (SAS)
***Always remember to keep your calculator in degree mode ***
