This lesson is a continuation of the Law of Cosines lesson. The law of cosines is a formula that allows us to find the third side of a triangle using the two other sides and the angle between them. It is a generalization of the Pythagorean Theorem. In this video I solve a practical application word problem with the law of cosines. The law is very useful in calculating distances in real life. For more details, see the video.
