What is the Pythagorean theorem?

Back

The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (a and b): c² = a² + b².

What is the Law of Sines?

Back

The Law of Sines states that the ratio of the length of a side of a triangle to the sine of its opposite angle is constant for all three sides: a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C).

What is the Law of Cosines?

Back

The Law of Cosines relates the lengths of the sides of a triangle to the cosine of one of its angles: c² = a² + b² - 2ab*cos(C).
