An oblique triangle has:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \"A=68%B0\", \"B=+79%B0\", and \"b=+8.0+ft\". \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Determine the length of side \"c\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The basic relationships among sides and angles of an oblique triangle are given by \"the+_Law+_of_+Sines\" and \"the_+Law_+of_+Cosines\". \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "When three parts (including a side) of an oblique triangle are given, the Law of Sines or the Law of Cosines can be used to solve the triangle.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There are \"four\"\"+possible\"\"+cases\":\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1. One side and two angles are given.
\n" ); document.write( "2. Two sides and one opposite angle are given.
\n" ); document.write( "3. Two sides and the included angle are given.
\n" ); document.write( "4. Three sides are given. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The \"Law+\"\"of\"\"+Sines\" is used in cases 1. and 2.
\n" ); document.write( "The \"Law\"\"+of\"\"+Cosines\" is used in cases III and IV.\r
