 In general, the law of sines is defined as the ratio of
side length to the sine of the opposite angle. It holds
for all the three sides of a triangle respective of their
sides and angles.
 Formulas
missing side:

missing angle:
sin A/a = sin B/b = sinC/c
Use the law of sines to find
the length of the side x.
7 sin(46.5°) = x sin(39.4°) 7
(0.725) = x (0.635)
5.078 = x (0.635)
x=8
 The Law of Cosines is used to find the remaining parts of an
oblique (non-right) triangle when either the lengths of two sides
and the measure of the included angle is known (SAS) or the
lengths of the three sides (SSS) are known.
When do we use the Law of Cosines?
- SSS (Contains three sides)
- SAS (Contains two sides and an included angle)

 A triangular garden has 3 sides. The first wall of flower is mostly made of
aurum and is 72 meters long. The second wall of flower is mostly made of
bellflowers and is 50 meters long. If Angle 0 between the two walls of flower
is equal to 49°, find the measurement of the third wall of flower.
