6.2 Law of Cosines x2 = y2 + z2 –2yzcosX Use law of cosines for SSS or SAS triangles.
Ex. 1 Find the three angles of a triangle whose sides have lengths a = 8 ft., b = 19 ft., and c = 14 ft.. B c = 14 a = 8 C A b = 19
Heron’s Area Formula Given any triangle with sides a, b, and c, the area of the triangle is where s = (a + b + c)/2
