Task 2

This document provides information about different types of triangles and how to use trigonometric ratios and rules to solve problems involving triangles. It defines isosceles, equilateral, right-angled, and scalene triangles. It explains the sine rule for solving non-included angles and the cosine rule for included angles. Examples are given for using both rules to calculate side lengths and angles of triangles. The document also covers calculating the area of triangles using 1/2 ab sin C and solving multi-step word problems involving trigonometric applications to triangles.

The Sine Rule can be used in any triangle (not just right-angled triangles)

where a side and its opposite angle are known.


We will only ever need two parts of the Sine Rule formula, not all three.

We will need to know at least one pair of a side with its opposite angle to
use the Sine Rule.
