Key Concepts
An oblique triangle is a triangle which does not contain any right angle.
Oblique triangles may be classified into two—acute and obtuse.
An acute triangle is a triangle whose angles are all less than 90°.
An obtuse triangle is a triangle in which one of the angles is more than 90°.
Law of Sines
In any ∆ABC,
sin 𝐴 sin 𝐵 sin 𝐶
= =
𝑎 𝑏 𝑐
Activities
Example 1.
To solve:
Given: two sides and an angle opposite one of these sides.
𝑎 = 10
𝑐 = 19
∠C =120°
Solutions:
∠C is an obtuse and 𝑐 > 𝑎 , thus there is exactly one solution.
sin 𝐴 sin 𝐶
Since a, c, and ∠C are known, we can use the formula =
𝑎 𝑐
sin 𝐴 sin 𝐶
= Formula to use to solve for ∠A

Example 1.
A newly-wed couple wants to purchase a piece of land which is triangular in shape. If the two
sides of the lot measure 25 m and 30 m and their included angle is 60°, what is its area? If
the lot costs Php2,000 per square meter, how much would it cost the couple to buy the lot?
Illustration:
1
Formula: 𝐴∆ = 2 𝑏𝑐 sin 𝐴
Solution:
1
𝐴∆ = 𝑏𝑐 sin 𝐴
2
1
𝐴∆ = (25𝑚)(30𝑚) sin 60°
2
1
𝐴∆ = (25𝑚)(30𝑚)(0.87)
2
𝐴∆ = 326.25 𝑚2
𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡 = 326.25(₱2,000.00)
𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡 = ₱652,500.00
1. A triangular parcel of land with points M, K, L was to be fenced. No data for the
lengths of sides MK and KL are available as shown in the figure below. How much
fencing material is to be used in the lot? Determine the area of the lot.
Reflections
1. What are your thoughts and feelings about the activities? Why?
2. How will you assess yourself in terms of the given activities? (Are you good at it
or do you still find difficulties in solving application problems on oblique triangles?)
3. Give at least three that you’ve learned about on solving real-life problems
involving oblique triangles.
