2 Purpose of The Law of Sines The law of sines gives a formula that relates the sides with the angles of a triangle. This formula allows you to easily find the side length or the angle of any triangle.

3 What is Law of Sines used for? Is mainly used in architecture to help find distances and angles of buildings. Law of sines is also used in carpentry.

4 How do we use law of sines to solve for a side? Use law to plug in the known values Example: Find side c Step one: plug in known values equal unknown values (leave as variables) to known values to then find missing values. Since the values of a/sineA are unknown ignore this part. 7/sin(35°) = c/sin(105°) Then solve for missing variable (we work out the rest of the problem with them)

5 How to solve for an angle? First notice that when finding angles we flip the formula to where the sides are at the bottom and angles are on top. Example: Find angle B First start by filling in what we know and setting it equal to what we want to find and remember to ignore what we don’t know at all. (ignore sinA/a). sin B / 4.7 = sin(63º) / 5.5 (we work out the rest of the problem with them)
