The Sine Rule is used to solve any problems involving triangles, when at least either of the following is known:
· a) two angles and a side
· b) two sides and an angle opposite a given side
In Triangle ABC, we use the convention that
- · a is the side opposite angle A
- · b is the side opposite angle B
- c is the side opposite angle C
\
·
The sine rules enables us to calculate sides and angles in some triangles where there is no a right angle.
Using a labelled triangle, the sine rule is stated as:
1. Use when finding a side
2. Use when finding an angle.
Write down the sine rule.
