is called the
hypotenuse

SINE RULE
Sine Rule
The sine rule enables you to calculate lengths
and angles in any triangle
There are two versions of this rule
(one for calculating the side and one for the angle)
Sine Rule
The sine rule is used to find:
a side when two angles and an opposite
side are known
an angle when two sides and an opposite
angle are known.

We are given two angles and one side and so
the sine rule can be used
3.
COSINE RULE (SIDE)
COSINE RULE FOR Side
The cosine rule is a formula which can be used to
calculate the missing sides of a triangle or to find
a missing angle.
To do this we need to know the two
arrangements of the formula and what each
variable represents.
The cosine rule is used to find:
a side when two sides and the angle in between
them are known
an angle when three sides are known
COSINE RULE FOR Side
COSINE RULE FOR Side

The cosine rule for sides is:
a²= b² + c² - (2bc + cosA)
Example
A
B C
7 cm
x cm
3 cm
To find x:
a²= b² + c² - (2bc + cosA)
a²=7²+3²- (2×3×7+ cos35)
a²= 23.5956 cm
a=
2
23.5956 cm
a= 4.86 cm
35º
The cosine rule is used because
there are 2 sides AND one angle
4.
COSINE RULE (ANGLES)
COSINE RULE FOR Angles
A
B C
b

c
The cosine rule for angles is:
cos(A) =
b2 + c2 − a2
2bc
Example
A
B C
7 cm
5 cm
3 cm
To find x:
cos(A) =
b2 + c2 − a2
2bc
cos(A) =
72 + 32 − 52
2 × 7 × 3
cos−1(0.7857) = A
A = 38.2̊
xº
The cosine rule is used because
there are 3 sides AND an unknown
angle
