INTRODUCTION
7
The natural (or counting) numbers are 1,2,3,4,5, etc. There are infinitely many natural
numbers. The set of natural numbers, {1,2,3,4,5,...}, is sometimes written N for short.
The whole numbers are the natural numbers together with 0.
(Note: a few textbooks disagree and say the natural numbers include 0.)
The integers are the set of real numbers consisting of the natural numbers, their additive
inverses and zero.
{...,−5,−4,−3,−2,−1,0,1,2,3,4,5,.
𝑎
A rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient of
𝑏
Of two integers with the denominator b is not equal to zero..
827
All decimals which terminate are rational numbers (since 8.27 can be written as ).
100
Decimals which have a repeating pattern after some point are also rationals.
An irrational number is a number that cannot be written as a ratio (or fraction). In
decimal form, it never ends or repeats. The ancient Greeks discovered that not all numbers
are rational; there are equations that cannot be solved using ratios of integers.
Irrational numbers can be further subdivided into algebraic numbers, which are the
solutions of some polynomial equation (like √2 and the golden ratio),
and transcendental numbers, which are not the solutions of any polynomial equation
𝜋 and e are both transcendental.
The real numbers is the set of numbers containing all of the rational numbers and all of the
irrational numbers. The real numbers are “all the numbers” on the number line. There are
infinitely many real numbers just as there are infinitely many numbers in each of the other
sets of numbers. But, it can be proved that the infinity of the real numbers is a bigger
infinity.
1. Even numbers can be divided evenly into groups of two. An integer n is even if it can
be expressed in the form of n = 2m, where m is an integer.
2. Odd numbers cannot be divided evenly into groups of two. An odd integer n is one
that could be expressed in the form of n = 2m + 1, where m is an integer.
4. Factors are any numbers or symbols in mathematics that when multiplied together
formed a product.
For example, 4 is a factor of 12, because 4 can be multiplied by 3 to give a product of 12.
Similarly, 6 is a factor of 24, because 6 x 4 is 24.
Numbers Factors
8
28 1, 2, 4, 7, 28
22 1, 2, 11, 22
15 1, 3, 5, 15
3 1, 3
1 1
5. A positive integer is prime if it has exactly two factors which are 1 and itself. For
example 2, 3, 5, 7 and 11 are prime numbers.
8. Integers are relatively prime if their only common factors are 1 and -1. For
example, 8 and 21 are relatively prime because their only common factor is 1 and -
1, but 8 and 20 are not relatively prime because aside from1 their common factor is
4.
Examples:
Using the commutative property of addition we get:
10+ 5 = 5 + 10 and 3.2 + 4 = 4 + 3.2
Using the commutative property of multiplication we get:
8 ∙ 3 = 3 ∙ 8 and m∙n=n∙m
Examples:
Using the associative property of addition we get:
8 + (5 + 6) = (5 + 6) + 8 and (2a + 5b) + 7c = 2a + (5b + 7c)
9
Using the associative property of multiplication we get:
8(5 ∙ 6) = (5 ∙ 6) 8 and (1.5x) y = 1.5 (xy)
The Distributive Property of Multiplication over Addition states that the sum of
two or more numbers when multiplied to another number is equal to multiplying each
separately then adding the products. Thus, for any real numbers a, b and c the following
statement is true:
a ( b + c ) = ab + ac
Examples:
6(2 + 3) = 6(5) = 30 has the same answer as 6(2) + 6(3) = 12 + 18 = 30
4(x+ y) has the same answer as 4x + 4y
Identity Properties
Addition of 0 to a number does not change the number. Zero (0) is called the additive
identity because adding this number doesn't change a number's identity.
Illustrations:
4+ 0 = 4 18 + 0 = 18 0 + 205 = 205 0 + 33.8 = 33.8
Multiplication of a number by 1 does not change the number. One (1) is called the
multiplicative identity because multiplying by this number doesn’t change a number’s identity.
Illustrations:
Inverse Properties
A number added to its opposite integer will always equal zero. See the following
examples.
2 + (-2) = 0 -3 + 3 = 0
10
Multiplying a number by its inverse equals 1. See the following examples below.
Inverse Property of Addition. For any real number a, there is a unique number –a such
that a + (-a) = -a + a = 0.
Examples:
The additive inverse of -3 is 3, since -3 + 3 = 0
Inverse Property of Multiplication. For any nonzero real number a, there is a unique
number such that
Examples:
1. Constant - It refers to an object or symbol that does not change its value in a
particular problem or discussion.
Examples: e = 2.7182818284590..., -3, , 0,
A term may contain a constant and variables, or just a constant. Each symbol is
referred to as a coefficient.
11
5. Coefficient -In general when two or more symbols are multiplied together to form a
product, then each symbol is called a coefficient.
Examples:
In 3y, the coefficient of 3 is y
In x3y2, the coefficient of x3 is y2
In -2b2, the coefficient of -2 is b2
12. Multinomial - Algebraic expression, which consist of more than three terms
Examples: a2 + b2 + c2 – 2ab – 2bc – 2ac , xy4 + 2xy – 3x2y3 + 4x4y2
13. Polynomial -An algebraic expression containing terms have variables which are raised
to whole-number exponents (or else the terms are just plain numbers); there are no
square roots of variables, no fractional powers, and no variables in the denominator of
any fractions.
The following algebraic expressions are polynomials.
xy, 9a8b4 – 4a4b6, 21x – 4, 5a + 3b,
The following are not polynomials. Why?
2q-3is not a polynomial because the exponent of its first term is a negative integer
is not a polynomial because there is a variable in the denominator
14. The degree of a term in one variable refers to the exponent of the variable.
Examples:
12
In the expression x3 + x2 + x
the degree of the first term x3 is 3
the degree of the second term x2 is 2
the degree of the third term x is 1
15. The degree of a term in more than one variable is the sum of the exponents of
the variables in the term.
Example:
In the expression 3x3y4z5 – 3x2y3z
the degree of 5x3y4z5 is 12
the degree of3x2y3z is 6
16. The degree of a polynomial is the degree of its term with the highest degree.
Example:
In the expression 3x3y4z5 - 3x2y3z,
the degree of the term 3x3y4z5 is 12
the degree of the term 3x2y3z is 6
Thus, the degree of the expression is 12
2. LAWS OF EXPONENTS
Writing 2 as a factor one million times is time-consuming and tedious task. A better
way to approach this is to use exponents. Exponential notation is shorthand for repeated
multiplication of the same number. For example,
2 · 2 · 2 = 23
y · y · y · y = y4
10 · 10 · 10 · 10 · 10 · 10 · 10 · 10 = 108
When you are given a term with a form of am, it is defined that:
a is the base
m is the exponent
am is an exponential expression
The exponent tells us how many times the based is used as a factor. In general we
read bn as the “nth root of b” or simply “b to the nth”. We refer to 2 3 as “2 cubed”, “2 raise to
the third power”, or “2 to the power of 3”. Remember that exponent applies only to what it’s
directly attached to. For example 3x³ is 3(x)(x)(x), not (3x)(3x)(3x). If we wanted (3x) (3x)
(3x), we’d need to use grouping: (3x)³.
The following are generally referred to as the “laws” or “rules” of exponents. The
exponent laws are the rules governing the combination of exponents. Let’s study each.
A. The Product Rule.
If m and n are integers and a is any non-zero real number, then am· an = am + n
The product rule for exponents states that when we multiply exponential expressions having
the same base, we can add the exponents and keep the base unchanged.
Examples:
(a) Simplify (-3x3) (6x2)
Solution
(-3x3) (6x2) Given
= (-3 · 6 )( x3 · x2 Place together all numerical coefficients in one group and all literal
) coefficients in another parentheses
13
= ( -18))( x3 · x2 ) Multiply numerical coefficients
To multiply powers that have the same base, write the common base,
= -18( x3 + 2 ) then add the exponents
= -18x5 Simplify
= pn + 2 + n – 1 Remove parentheses
= p2n + 1 Combine similar terms in the exponent
14
If n is an integer and a, b are any non-zero real numbers, then
The power of a quotient is equal to the quotient obtained when the dividend and divisor are
each raised to the indicated power separately, before the division is performed.
Examples:
Solution Solution
Given Given
E. Quotient Rule
If m and n are integers and a is any non-zero real number, then
It states that when dividing two powers that have the same bases, you copy the common
base and subtract the exponents.
Examples:
Solution Solution
Given Given
Examples:
15
If a is any nonzero real number, then ao = 1
In other words, any non−zero real number raised to the zero power is 1. For example,
(x – y)0= 1
3(5a2b2 – ab + 1)0 = 3(1) = 3
-5(2x + 5y + z)0= -5(1) = -5
3.Special Products.
Examples:
a) 2m(m – 2) Given
= 2m[m + (-2)] Express the second factor as a sum of two terms
b) mn (m + n) Given
= mn(m) + mn(n) Distribute mn to each term of (m+ n)
= m2n + mn2 Simplify
B. Square of a Binomial
(x + y)² = (x + y)(x + y) = x² + 2xy + y²
In words: “The square of binomial is equal to the square of its first term (x2), plus twice the
product of both terms (2xy), plus the square of its second term (y 2).”
Examples:
a) (c + d) Given
= (c)2 + 2(c)(d) + (d)2 Square of the first term: (c)2 = c2
Twice the product of the two terms: 2(c)(d)=2cd
Square of the second term: (d)2 = d2
16
= c2 + 2cd + d2 Simplify
b) (c – d)2 Given
= [c + (-d)]2 Express the polynomial as the sum of two terms
= (c)2 + 2(c)(-d) + (d)2 Square of the first term: (c)2 = a2
Twice the product of the two terms: 2(c)(-d) = -
2cd
Square of the second term: (-d)2 = d2
= c2 – 2cd + d2 Simplify
D. Cube of a Binomial
(x + y)³ = x³ + 3x²y + 3xy² + y³
In words: “The cube of a binomial is equal to the cube of its first term (x3), plus thrice the
square of its first term times the second term (3x2y), plus thrice its first term times the square
of the second term (3xy2), plus the cube of the last term (y3).”
17
Examples:
a) (u + 2v)3 Given
Cube of the first term: (u)3 = u3
= (u) + 3(u) (2v) + 3(u)(2v) +
3 2 2
Thrice the product of the square of the
(2v)3
first term, multiplied by the second
term: 3(u)2(2v) = 6u2v
Thrice the product of the first term,
multiplied by the square of the second
term: 3(u)(2v)2 = 12uv2
Cube of the second term: (2v)3 = 8v3
= u3 + 6u2v + 12uv2 + 8v3
Simplify
b) (u – 2v)3 Given
= (u)3 + 3(u)2(-2v) + 3(u)(-2v)2 + Express the binomial as the sum of
(-2v)3 terms
Cube of the first term: (u)3 = u3
Thrice the product of the square of the
first term, multiplied by the second
term: 3(u)2(-2v) = -6u2v
Thrice the product of the first term,
multiplied by the square of the second
term: 3(u)(-2v)2 = 12uv2
Cube of the second term: (-2v)3 = -8v3
= u3 – 6u2v + 12uv2 – 8v3 Simplify
E. Square of a Trinomial
(a + b + c) = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2ac + 2bc
In words: The square of a trinomial is the sum of the squares of its terms, plus twice the
product of every possible pair of its terms.
Examples:
a) (u + v + 1)2 Given
= (u)2 + (v)2 + (1)2 + 2(u)(v) + 2(u)(1) + 2(v)(1) Square each term:
(u)2 = u2
(v)2 = v2
(1)2 = 1
Multiply 2 to the product of
every possible terms:
2(u)(v) = 2uv
2(u)(1) = 2u
2(v)(1) = 2v
= u2 + v2 + 1 + 2uv + 2u + 2v Add
= u2 + v2 + 2uv + 2u + 2v + 1 Arrange terms

FACTORING
Factors are the numbers you multiply together to get another number. The process of
expressing an object (for example, a number, or a polynomial) into a product of other
objects, or factors, is called factoring.
Example: Factor out 24
Answer: The number 24 can be written as 24 x 1, 12 x 2, 8 x 3, and 6 x 4
a) Find the greatest common factor (GCF) of each given term: 8x2y, 20xy3
Solution:
First, factor each term
8x2y = 23 ∙ x2 ∙ y
20xy3 = 22 ∙ 5 ∙ x ∙ y3
The factors common to both terms are 2, x, and y. In finding the GCF, use the
smallest exponent that appears on each factor in either of the terms. So the GCF is 2 2xy
or 4xy.
b) Find the greatest common factor (GCF) for each of the terms 30a 2, 45a3b2, 75a4b
Solution:
First, factor each term
30a2 = 2 ∙ 3 ∙ 5 ∙ a2
45a3b2 = 32 ∙ 5 ∙ a3 ∙ b2
75a4b = 3 ∙ 5 a4 ∙ b
The GCF is 3 ∙ 5a2 or 15a2
B. Finding the Common Monomial Factor
In general, the following are the rules that are followed when factoring an
algebraic expression whose terms have common monomial factor.
1. Find the greatest monomial that is a factor of each term of the given algebraic
expression.
2. Divide the given algebraic expression by the factor found in step 1. The quotient
is the other factor.
3. Express the given algebraic expression as the product of two factors.
Finding the greatest common monomial factor of all terms of a given algebraic
expression is the first step in factoring before applying any other method
Examples:
19
5x4 – 10x3 + 15x2 Given
Divide each term of the given expression by the
= GCF 5x2
= 5x (x – 2x + 3)
2 2
Simplify
Thus, factoring 15x4 – 10x3 + 15x2 we get 5x2(x2 – 2x + 3)
You can check our answer by multiplying the factors to obtain the original algebraic
expression.
a) 49a2 – b2
b) 8c2 – 2
c) (3u – v)2 – 4w
Solutions:
a) 49a2 – b2 Given
= (7a)2 – (b)2 Express each of the terms as the square of a monomial:
49a2 = (7a)2
= (7a + b)(7a – b) b2 = (b)2

= 2(4c2 – 1) Factor out the greatest common factor 2
= 2[(2c)2 – (1)2] Express each of the terms of (4c2 – 1) as the square of a
monomial:
4c2 = (2c)2
1 = (1)2
= 2(2c + 1)(2c – 1) Sum and difference of the square roots:
(2c + 1) sum of the square roots
(2c – 1) difference of the square roots
a) 125a3b3 + 1 Given
= (5ab)3 + (1)3 Express each of the terms as the cube of a monomial
125a3b3 = (5ab)3
1 = (1)3
= (5ab + 1)(25a2b2 – 5ab +
Factor out using the method for factoring the sum of cubes

21
b) 64x3 – 27 Given
= (4x) – (3)
3 3
Express each of the terms as the cube of a monomial
64x3 = (4x)3
27 = (3)3
= (4x – 3)(16x2 + 12x + Factor out using the method for factoring the difference of two
9) cubes.
22
1. Find two integers that have a product equal to ac and a sum equal to b,
2. replace bx by two terms using the two new integers as coefficients,
3. then factor the resulting four- term polynomial by grouping.
Examples:
a) Factor x² + 9x + 18
b) Factor 3y² – 11y – 4
Solutions:
a) x² + 9x + 18 Given
= x + 3x + 6x + 18
2
a = 1, b = 9, c = 18 and ac = 1(18) = 18
For a product of 18 only 3 and 6 have a sum of 9
Replace 9x by 3x and 6x
= (x2 + 3x) + (6x + Enclosed the first two terms in parentheses and the last two terms
18) in another parentheses
= x(x + 3) + 6(x + 3) Greatest common monomial factor is x + 3
= (x + 3)(x + 6) Factor using the method for factoring greatest common monomial
factor
G. Factoring by Grouping
One of the methods of factoring polynomials is to factor by grouping. This method
is used when other simpler special formulas such as factoring the difference of two cubes
or factoring perfect squares do not work. Factor by grouping, in layman’s language, is
simply defined as the grouping of terms with common factors before factoring a
polynomial.
Examples:
Factor the following algebraic expressions
(a) a³ – 2a² + 5a – 10
(b) x² – y² + x – y
(c) x² + 2xy + y² - 9
(d) a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3
Solutions:
a) a³ – 2a² + 5a – 10 Given
= (a3 – 2a2) + (5a – 10) Group first two terms in parentheses and last two terms in other
parentheses
= a2(a – 2) + 5(a – 2) Greatest common monomial factor is (a – 2)
= (a – 2)(a2 + 5) Factor out greatest common monomial factor
23
b) x² – y² + x – y Given
= (x2 – y2) + (x – y) Group first two terms in parentheses and last two terms in other
parentheses
= (x + y)(x – y) + (x – Greatest common monomial factor is (x - y)
y)
= (x – y) [ (x + y) + 1 Factor out greatest common monomial factor
]
= (x – y)(x + y + 1) Simplify

Introduction

Equation is the statement that two algebraic expressions are equal. These two
algebraic expressions are sides or members of the equation.
Below are the examples of equations:
1. (x2 – 4) = (x + 2)(x – 2)
2. 2x2 – 2 = 2(x – 1)(x + 1)
3. x – 3 = 7
4. 2x + 5 = 3x – 3
Any number that will satisfy the equation is called to as the root of the equation. Take
for example equation 3, because 10 – 3 = 7 is true, we say that 10 is a root of equation 3.
Furthermore, the set of all roots is called solution set.
To solve an equation means to find its solution set. The most basic method for solving
equations involves the properties of equality.
Properties of Equality
A. Addition Property of Equality
Adding the same number to both sides of an equation does not change the solution
set to the equation. In symbols, if a = b, then a + c = b + c
B. Multiplication Property of Equality
Multiplying both sides of an equation by the same nonzero number does not change
the solution set to the equation. In symbols, if a = b and c≠0, then ac = bc

A system of linear equation is a set of equations the aim of which is to solve for the
value or values of the indicated unknowns that will satisfy each of the equation contained in
the system. The following are the examples of system of linear equations
(a) 2x + 3y = 5 (b) x + y + z = 3
x–y=0 x–y+z=1
2x + y + z = 4
A solution set of the system is a set of values that will satisfy each of the unknowns
in the system.
A system of linear equation is said to be consistent if it has a solution, otherwise, it
has no solution, and it is called an inconsistent system.
Two linear systems are called equivalent if they have exactly the same solution set.
This method consists of eliminating one of the variables of the given system either by
addition or subtraction. Upon elimination, the number of variables in the new system will be
one less that of the original system.
Examples:
35
B. The Substitution Method of Solving Linear System
This method consists of choosing first one particular equation in the system, and then
using this equation, we will express one variable in terms of the other variables. Finally, we
will substitute the value of this variable to each of the other equations in the system.
Examples:
Solve the systems using the substitution method.
(a) 2x + 4y = 48 (b) x + y = 1 (c) 2x + 3y = 6
4x + 2y = 60 2x + 4y = 4 2x + 3y = 1
Solution
a) 2x + 4y = 48 Eq. 1
4x + 2y = 60 Eq. 2
We shall choose the second equation and solve the value of x in terms of y.
4x + 2y = 60
4x = 60 – 2y
x = 60 – 2y Eq. 3
4
Substitute Eq. 3 to equation Eq. 1
2x + 4y = 48
2
60 – 2y + 4y = 48
4
+ 4y = 48
60 – 2y
(60 – 2y) + 8y = 96
602– 2y + 8y = 96
6y = 96 – 60
6y = 36
y=6
To obtain the value of x, we may substitute this value to y to either one of the equations in
the original system.
2x + 4y = 48 4x + 2y = 60
2x + 4(6) = 48 4x + 2(6) = 60
2x + 24 = 48 4x + 12 = 60
2x = 48 – 24 4x = 60 - 12
2x = 24 4x = 48
x = -24/2 x = 48/4
x = 12 x = 12
Ans. x = 12 , y = 6
QUADRATIC EQUATIONS
36
3. x2 – 5x = 3x
Before solving the quadratic equation, we must consider first the nature of its roots.
The nature of the values that will satisfy quadratic equation can be known using the
expression.
b2 – 4ac
In quadratic equation, the symbol a, b, and c, are the constants and the expression is
called as the discriminant. We will have three possibilities when this expression is evaluated.
1. If b2 – 4ac > 0, then we say that the quadratic equation has two possible roots.
Moreover, if the value is a perfect square then the roots are rational, otherwise the
roots are rational.
2. If b2 – 4ac = 0, then we say that the quadratic equation has one root. The quadratic
expression is a perfect square trinomial.
3. If b2 – 4ac < 0, then the quadratic equation has no real roots. This means that the
values, which shall satisfy the given equation, are not real numbers.
Examples. Find the nature of roots of the given equations
1. x2 – 5x – 6 = 0 ans. rational numbers
2. x2 – 8x + 16 = 0 ans. rational number
3. x2 + 3x + 7 = 0 ans. not real number
4.
A. Solution by Factoring
The solution by factoring will be employed once the quadratic equation is expressed in
standard form and whenever the quadratic equation is factorable into linear factors. The
solution therefore can be obtained by simply setting or equating each linear factor into zero.
Examples:
1) x2 – x – 6 = 0
Solution
x2 – x – 6 = 0
since, x2 – x – 6 = (x – 3) (x + 2)
x2 – x – 6 = 0
(x – 3) (x + 2) = 0
Setting each linear factor to zero, we get
x–3=0 x+2=0
x=3 x = -2
Hence, the roots are
x=3, x = -2
4) y2 = 16 Ans. x = -4 , x = 4
B. Quadratic Formula
The roots of the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 : a ≠ 0 is given by:
_______
X = - b ± √ b – 4ac
2
2a
This is known as the quadratic formula. It should be remembered that this formula can only
be used once the quadratic equation is reduced in standard form.
Examples:
37
Solve the equation
1. 6x2 – 3x – 3 = 0
Solution:
Since the equation is already in standard form, then observe that a = 6, b = -3, c = -
3
Substituting these values to the quadratic formula, we obtain:
_______
x = - b ± √b2 – 4ac
2a
____________
x = - ( -3) ± √(-3)2 – 4(6)(-3)
2(6)
______
x = 3 ± √ 9 + 72
12
__
x = 3 ± √81

Introduction
Once you have mastered the idea of points, lines and planes, the next thing to
consider is what happens when two lines or rays meet at a point, creating an angle between
them.
Angles are used throughout geometry, to describe shapes such
as polygons and polyhedrons, and to explain the behaviour of lines, so it’s a good idea to
become familiar with some of the terminology, and how we measure and describe angles.
What is an Angle?
In geometry, an angle can be defined as the figure formed by two rays meeting at a
common end point. An angle is represented by the symbol ∠. Here, the angle below is
∠AOB.
Types of Angles
Angles can be classified on the basis of their measurements as
45
Interior and Exterior Angles:
Interior angles: Interior Angles are the angles formed within or inside a shape.
Exterior angles: Exterior angles are the angles formed outside between any side of a
shape, and a line extended from the adjoining side. Here, ∠ACD is an exterior angle.
46
Measurement of Angles
Degree Measure
A complete revolution, i.e. when the initial and terminal sides are in the same position after
rotating clockwise or anticlockwise, is divided into 360 units called degrees. So, if the rotation
from the initial side to the terminal side is (13601360)th of a revolution, then the angle is said
to have a measure of one degree. It is denoted as 1°.
We measure time in hours, minutes, and seconds, where 1 hour = 60 minutes and 1 minute =
60 seconds. Similarly, while measuring angles,

3. 40.260 = .260 x 0
= 15.6’= .6’ x = 36” = 400 15’ 36”
1 1′
47
Radian Measure
Radian measure is slightly more complex than the degree measure. Imagine a circle with a
radius of 1 unit. Next, imagine an arc of the circle having a length of 1 unit. The angle
.
subtended by this arc at the centre of the circle has a measure of 1 radian

TRIANGLES
PROPERTIES OF TRIANGLES
49
An acute triangle has all interior angles acute (less than 90°), a right triangle has one right
angle (equal to 90°) and an obtuse triangle has one obtuse angle (greater than 90 °).
To classify the triangles according to their sides, we measure the length of each of its sides.
Triangles can be classified by their sides, as:
To classify triangles according to both angles and sides, we measure the interior angles and
length of the sides of the triangle. Few examples of triangles classified on the basis of both
angles and sides are:
50
PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM
The longest side of the triangle is called the "hypotenuse", so the formal definition is:
In a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of
the squares of the other two sides.

To SOLVE A TRIANGLE means to know all three sides and all three angles. When we know
the ratios of the sides, we use the method of similar figures. That is the method to use
when solving an isosceles right triangle or a 30°-60°-90° triangles.
Example 1. Given an acute angle and one side. Solve the right triangle ABC if
angle A is 36°, and side c is 10 cm.
Solution.
Since angle A is 36°, then angle B is 90° − 36° = 54°.

Introduction
The Law of Sine is an equation relating the sides of a triangle to the sine of its angles.
This law is also known as Sine Law, Sine Formula or Sine Rule. According to Law of Sine:
where a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides of the triangle, and A, B and C are the
opposite angles. As shown in the figure below side a faces angle A, sid e b faces angle B
and Band side c faces angle C.
The equation can also written using the reciprocal of the above equation:
63
Law of Cosine
Some of which are architecture, engineering, astronomy, and chemistry. This is why
mathematicians have studied them and consequently have several relations to enumerate
their sides and angles. Here is one such relation.
a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bc cos A
b2 = a2 + c2 – 2ac cos B
c2 = a2 + b2 -2ab cosC
