Solution & Area of Oblique Triangle

Textbook of Algebra and Trigonometry for Class XI

The Law of Cosine

o a 2 = b2 + c 2 - 2bc cos a
b2 + c 2 - a 2
o cos a =
2bc

Available online @ http://www.mathcity.org, Version: 2.0.1

o b 2 = c 2 + a 2 - 2ca cos b
c2 + a 2 - b2
o cos b =
2ca

o c 2 = a 2 + b 2 - 2ab cos g
a 2 + b2 - c 2
o cos g =
2ab
