Chapter 6 Trigonometry- Part 3
Aim #6.1:How do we apply the Law of Sines? • An oblique triangle is one that does not contain a right angle.
Law of Sines states… • If A, B, and C are the measures of the angles of a triangle and a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides opposite these angles, then The ratio of the length of the side of any triangle to the sine of the angle opposite that side is the same for all three sides of the triangle.
Example 1: Using the Law of Sines for an SAA triangle • Solve the triangle below with A= 46º, C=63º, and c = 56 inches. • Round the lengths of the sides to the nearest tenth.
Check for Understanding: • Solve the triangle below with A= 64º, C=82º, and c = 14 centimeters. • Round the lengths of the sides to the nearest tenth.
Example 2: Using the Law of Sines for an ASA triangle • Solve the triangle below with A= 50º, C=33.5º, and b = 76. • Round your measures to the nearest tenth.
Check for Understanding: • Solve triangle ABC if A= 40º, C=22.5º, and b = 12. • Round your measures to the nearest tenth.
Solve triangle ABC, if A= 43°, a = 81 and b = 62. Round lengths to the nearest tenth and angle measures to nearest degree. Example 3: Solving SAA Triangle
Check for Understanding: • Solve triangle ABC if A= 57°, a = 33, and b = 26. • Round lengths to the nearest tenth and angle measures to nearest degree.
Example 4: Solving SSA Triangle • Solve triangle ABC if A= 75°, a = 51 and b = 71.
Check for Understanding: • Solve triangle ABC if A= 50°, a = 10 and b =20.
Check for Understanding: • Solve triangle ABC if A = 35°, a = 12 and b = 16. • Round lengths to the nearest tenth and angle measures to nearest degree.
Example 6: Finding the Area • Find the area of a triangle having two sides of lengths 24 meters and 10 meters and an included angle of 62°. • Round to the nearest square meter.
Check for Understanding: • Find the area of a triangle having two sides of lengths 8 meters and 12 meters and an included angle of 135°. • Round to the nearest square meter.
