Students will be able to: 1. Understand and use the concept of sine rule to solve problems.
1.1 Verify sine rule. 1.2 Use sine rule to find unknown sides or angles of a triangle. 1.3 Find the unknown sides and angles of a triangle involving ambiguous case. 1.4 Solve problems involving the sine rule
To solve the triangle means we must find three interior angle and three sides of any triangle
A Sine Rule
Label the triangle with alphabets A,B,C and a,b,c . For any triangle ABC, whether it is an acute-angled or obtuseangled triangle, sine Rule state that :
a b c = = sin A SinB sin C
It is correct when the label of the triangle are correct. So label on the triangle is vary importance to verify sine rule.

Homework Text Book Exercise 10.1.2 page 243 1.3 Finding the unknown sides and angles of a triangle involving ambiguous case. Ambiguous case (Ambiguous means having more than one value ) a) When two sides and an acute angle which is not an included angle are given with the acute angle opposite the shorter of two given sides, then ambiguity arises. b) Ambiguity means it is possible to form two triangle as shown below A situation like this will not happen if a) the angle given is an obtuse angle b) the side that is opposite the given angle is longer than the second side.
Example 2 : a) { Answer C =57.7o or 123.3o BC 12.8 cm or 23.5cm a) ABC is a triangle with B = 25o , AB = 20 cm and AC = 10 cm. Solve the triangle.
Exerice 2: For each of the following triangle , state if ambiguity arises. Hence, solve the triangles a) ABC : B = 30o , c = 8cm and b = 6cm c) ABC : B= 64o 22' a = 13.3 cm and b = 12 cm

Cosine Rule
a 2 = b2 + c2 - 2bc CosA b2 = a2 + c2 - 2ac CosB c2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab CosC The cosine rule can be used to solve any triangle when a) two sides and the included angle are given, b) three sides are given
