Describe the three situations when you can use the Law of Sines. @Here_to_Help15

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

The tricky part of the law of sines is knowing when you are able to use it. Whether you can use the law of Sine's or not depends on what information you have or were given. In some cases the information you were given could make two different triangles. There are three times when you can use the law of sines. One example of when you can use it is when you have the length of a side and the measures of both the angles that that side is adjacent to. This is called angle side angle or asa for short. Another time when you can use the law of sines is when you are given the measures of two angles and a side that is outside the angles. This is called aas. Finally the last case where you can use the law of sines is when you have two side lengths and the measure of an angle. Math teachers refer to this one as ssa, I remember that this one is special. If you are given the measure of an angle and two sides you could have two different triangles.

Is it muliple choice or nah?

wow u copy and paster and no its not

1. You are given a triangle with two angles and the included side 2. You are given a triangle with two sides and a non-included angle 3. You are given a triangle with two angles and a non-included side

well yeah when ur helping 3 ppl you wouldnt say

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm 90% sure those are right

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):
