How can we find the length of one side of a triangle when two sides and an angle is given using Sine and cosine? please give an example. \n" ); document.write( "----------------- \n" ); document.write( "Use Law of Cosines: \n" ); document.write( "Example \n" ); document.write( "If a = 3 and b = 4 and angle C = 30 degrees, \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "c^2 = a^2 + b^2-2ab*cos(C) \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "c^2 = 3^2+4^2-2*12*(sqrt(3)/2) \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "c^2 = 25-12*sqrt(3) \n" ); document.write( "-- \n" ); document.write( "c = sqrt[4.215..] \n" ); document.write( "c = 2.053 \n" ); document.write( "================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
