Sine Rule and Cosine Rule Clicker Practice

The Sine Rule and Cosine Rule can be used to solve for unknown sides and angles of any triangle. The Sine Rule is used when two angles and a side or two sides and a non-included angle are known. The Cosine Rule is used when two sides and the included angle or all three sides are known. Worked examples demonstrate using the rules to find missing sides or angles of triangles.

SOH/CAH/TOA can only be used for right-angled triangles.

The Sine Rule can be used for any triangle:

The sides are labelled to match b a


their opposite angles

The Sine Rule: = =
sinA sinB sinC
We use the Sine Rule when:

We have two angles and a side

OR

We have two sides and the non-included


angle (this is the ambiguous case)
