Class Work • Sketch a right triangle that has acute angle , and find the five other trig ratios of . • Evaluate the expression without using a calculator.
Class Work 3. Solve the triangle.
Section 6.5Law of Cosines Objectives: Use the Law of Cosines to solve triangles. Use Heron’s Formula to find the area of a triangle.
If you need to solve for an angle you will want to use these formulas instead.
Ex 1. Solve the triangle. C 5 8 B A 12
Ex 2. Solve the triangle. C 76 39 B A 63
Class Work 4. Use the Law of Cosines to solve for .
Class Work 5. Solve for x.
7. Determine whether you need to use the Law of Sines or the Law of Cosines to solve. Then find either x or . a) c) b) d)
Ex 5. Find the area of the triangle with sides a =15, b = 23, c = 16.
Class Work 8. Find the area of the triangle with sides a = 50, b = 17, c = 41.
