Use when there’s a right-angle triangle. Sine Law:
Use when you have a matching pair of side and angle.
opp sin 𝐴 sin 𝐵 sin 𝐶 𝑎 𝑏 𝑐
sin 𝜃 = = = or = =
hyp 𝑎 𝑏 𝑐 sin 𝐴 sin 𝐵 sin 𝐶
adj Cosine Law:
cos 𝜃 =
hyp Use when you have SAS or SSS.
𝑎2 + 𝑏 2 − 𝑐 2
opp 𝑐 2 = 𝑎2 + 𝑏 2 − 2𝑎𝑏 cos 𝐶 or 𝐶 = cos −1 ( )
tan 𝜃 = 2𝑎𝑏
