Law of Cosines calculator SSS

The video tutorial covers the process of solving triangles using the laws of sines and cosines. It begins with a discussion on selecting angles in triangles, particularly focusing on acute and obtuse angles. The tutorial then explains the law of sines, including how to handle ambiguous cases. Following this, the law of cosines is introduced and applied to solve for unknown angles and sides in triangles. The instructor provides a detailed walkthrough of calculations, emphasizing the importance of accuracy and verification of results. The session concludes with a review of the solutions to ensure they meet geometric principles.
