    The document explains the sine rule for solving for unknown sides and angles of non-right triangles. It gives the formula sin C/c = sin A/a = sin B/b and shows it can be written as c = a * sin C / sin A = b * sin C / sin B. It then works through an example problem using the sine rule to find the length of side a given the other two sides and an angle of a triangle, and finds the size of angle B given two sides and the opposite angle.

    The sine rule

    a c

    sin C = sin A = sin B


    c a b C A
    b
    ...is the same as...
    c = a = b
    Sin C sin A sin B
    We can use this formula to find missing sides or
    angles of non-right-angled triangles
    Find the length of the side marked a and give your answer
    correct to 3 s.f.
