Area of a non-right triangle
A=1/2(leg)(leg)sin(angle between)

Area of Right Triangles
A=1/2bh

SOHCAHTOA
sinΘ=opposite leg/hypotenuse
cosΘ=adjacent leg/hypotenuse
tanΘ=opposite leg/adjacent leg

Law of Sines
sinA/a - sinB/b = sinC/c
(used when you know pairs or opposites in a non-right triangle)

Law of Cosines
(opposite leg)²=(adjacent leg)² + (other leg)² - 2(adjacent leg)(adjacent leg)cos°


both law of sine and law of cosines are formulas used to solve for the components of a non right triangle

law of sine is a formula used to solve for the components of a triangle when there is a set or pair of information given meaning a length of a side on the opposite side of a given angle.

law of cosines is a formula used to solve for the components of a triangle when a set or pair of information is not given.

Area of Inscribed Shapes
A=nr²sinΘcosΘ
