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 and angles in the triangle. It is expressed as: 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. It is useful for finding a side when two sides and the included angle are known. It is expressed as: c² = a² + b² - 2ab*cos(C).
