what is the sine rule
a/sinA = b/sinB
what is the cosine rule?
a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc cosA
what is the cosine rule rearranged for cosA?
cosA = b^2 +c^2 - a^2 / 2bc
what can the cosine rule be used to calculate?
- a side when two sides and the angle in between them are known
- an angle when all three sides are known
