law of sins :)
sinA/a=sinB/b=sinC/c
*only used when you have pairs, an angle and the side opposite of it.
*setting up a proportion.
Ex: a civil engineer wants to determine the distance from points A and B to an inaccessable point C. from direct measurement -- AB=25m,
first you would draw a diagram and lable EVERYTHING. Then, choose your pairs. Finally set up a proportion.
(sin50/25)=(sin20/B)
cross multiply--Bsin50=25sin20
divide by sin50
B=11.162m
you would follow the same process to find side "a".
I still don't understand integral coefficients if anyone wants to help.
