Example :

Solving the equation sin xo = 0.5 in the range 0o to 360o

Graphically what are we

trying to solve

xo = sin-1(0.5)

xo = 30o

There is another solution

xo = 150o

(180o – 30o = 150o)

How to determine when to use the Cosine Rule.

Works for any Triangle

1. Do you know ALL the lengths.

2. Do you know 2 sides and the angle in between.

Otherwise use the Sine Rule

Consider the Cosine Rule again:We are going to change the subject of the formula to cos Ao

Turn the formula around:b2 + c2 – 2bc cos Ao = a2
