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

sin A sin B sin C


 
a b c
Law of Cosines

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

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

First, label the triangle:


A
c = 4 b

C
B = 75 o a = 5
b 2  a 2  c 2  2ac cosB  25  16  40 cos 75  38.32  b  6.19 .

Now you can find the angle C from the Law of Sines:

sin B sin C sin 75 sin C sin 75


 , so  and sin C  4   0.624
b c 6.19 4 6.19

 C = angle, between 0 and 90, whose sine is .624.


Using a calculator we find out that C  38.6 A  66.4 .
