a) Calculate the Area of an
Equilateral triangle with a Perimeter of
30cm.
ACTIVITY

b) What about if the side length was


x? Write an expression for the Area..
The Sine Rule
• The Trigonometry we have seen already,
involving ‘SOHCAHTOA’ works in Right-angled
triangles

• There are also some patterns that will work in


any triangle

• They are called the ‘Sine Rule’ and the ‘Cosine


Rule’

• Today we will be looking at the Sine Rule…

ACTIVITY :
Summarize your
learning
Summary
• We have learnt another rule of Trigonometry, the Sine
Rule

• We have used it to calculate missing angles and sides


in a triangle

• We have also seen that it works in any triangle, not


just right-angled ones…
