Known Sides and Angles | Example | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
All three sides (SSS) a, b, and c |
cos = | b2 + c2 - a2 | ||
2bc | ||||
Two sides and the angle included between them (SAS) b, , and c |
a2 = b2 + c2 - 2bc cos | |||
Two sides and an angle not included between them (SSA) a, b, and |
sin = | b sin | ||
a | ||||
One side and two angles (SAA) a, , and |
b = | a sin | ||
sin |
= tan-1(slope of x)
x' = x cos + y sin y' = -x sin + y cos |
