For Right Triangles: SITUATION. Given triangle ABC, how many possible triangles can be
formed for the following conditions:

7. BC = 15cm, AC = 7cm, AB = 8cm.

8. BC = 17cm, AC = 12cm, AB = 7cm.
9. BC = 16cm, AC = 26cm, angle A = 42.3°.
r2 = x2 + y2 10. AB = 37cm, AC = 26cm, angle B = 32.5°.
x = r cos θ
y = r sin θ 3.07 Spherical Trigonometry

1. Given triangle ABC, point E is along side AC and point D is along
the side BC. Line BE and AD are the angle bisectors of angle B and COSINE LAW FOR ANGLES
A respectively. If the angle BEC = 75˚ and angle ADC = 84˚, find the cos A = − cos B cos C + sin B sin C cos a
angle ACB. cos B = − cos A cos C + sin A sin C cos b
cos C = − cos A cos B + sin A sin B cos c
2. Towers A and B are constructed on a horizontal plane, B being 200
m. above the plane. The angle of elevation of the top of Tower A as
seen from point C in the plane (in the same vertical plane with A and COSINE LAW FOR SIDES
B) is 50˚, while the angle of depression of C viewed from the top of cos a = cos b cos c + sin b sin c cos A
Tower B is 28˚ and the angle subtended at the top of Tower B by cos b = cos a cos c + sin a sin c cos B
the top of Tower A and C is 50˚, find the height of A.
cos c = cos a cos b + sin a sin b cos C
