Solving Right Triangles:
Example: Solve:
o
32
8
We know that the side adjacent to the 32 angle is ADJ = 8.
To get OPP, the side opposite the angle, consider that in this case
OPP
tan 32 ,
ADJ
and so
OPP ADJ tan32 (8) (.624869352) 4.998954815 .
Given the opposite side, OPP, you can get the hypotenuse, HYP, from the Pythagorean theorem, or
by using
HYP
sec32 ,
ADJ
to obtain HYP = ADJ sec 32 (8) (1.179178403) 9.433427227 .
Of course, the last angle is 58 .

Non-Right Angle Triangles
Given the triangle show below with sides of length a, b, and c, and opposite angles A, B, and C,
we have:
b C a
A B
Law of Sines c
c 2 a 2 b 2 2 a b cos C
also b 2 a 2 c 2 2 a c cos B
and a 2 b 2 c 2 2 b c cos A

Example: Solve:
o
60 25o
15
Using the Law of Sines
A b
c
o o
B = 60 a = 15 C = 25
Notice that A = 95 , so
sin 95 sin 60 sin 25
.
15 b c
You can solve for b and c as
15 sin 60 15 sin 25
b and c .
sin 95 sin 95
Using a calculator, you can get decimal equivalents:
b 13.04 and c 6.36
