Sine Rule and Cosine Rule Clicker Practice
SOH/CAH/TOA can only be used for right-angled triangles. The Sine Rule can be used for any triangle: AB C a b c The sides are labelled to match their opposite angles a sinA b sinB c sinC= The Sine Rule:
We use the Sine Rule when: We have two angles and a side OR We have two sides and the non-included angle (this is the ambiguous case)
