Question 1102123: For my assignment I'm supposed to find a household item resembling an oblique triangle. I should gather one side of the triangle and any two other measurements. Based on the measurements gathered, I should pick the appropriate law of sine for the triangle.
What is the easiest item to choose for this assignment? Which law of sine should be applied to the item?
Thanks friends

For my assignment I'm supposed to find a household item resembling an oblique triangle. I should measure
one side of the triangle and any two other measurements. Based on the measurements gathered, I should pick the appropriate law of sine for the triangle.

------
measure the three sides of the triangle
Use Heron's formula to find the Area
-----
Heron's rule
p = (a+b+c)/2
Area = sqrt[p(p-a)(p-b)(p-c)]
------------
