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
