Law of Sines
Given two sides and a missing sin; such as that the formula look like this:
Where: k’ = known sin, xy’ = known side, u’ unknown sin, dy’ known side, the equation
solves as:
Then, the value sin(u′ ) is input into de sin − 1(sin(u′ )) so that it gives the value in
degrees.
Trigonometry 1
Given sin(x) sides and a side, such as that the formula look like this:
Where: k’ = known sin, k’’ second known sin, xy’ known side, u’ unknown side.
It solves as:
Law of cosines
c2 = a2 + b2 − 2ab(cosθ)
To get c, a and b you must look at the given angles and realize it. C is noticed by
looking at the side that is contrary to the angle given, then a and b become trivial (their
order doesn’t matter).

(cosθ) = (cosθ + 2pi) = (cos − θ)
sin(θ) = sin(θ + 2pi) = sin(pi − θ)
Trigonometry 2
sin(−180 − θ) = sin(θ)
pi − θ + 2pi/2 = x
First solve for the given value such as the equation looks like this:
Then evaluate the “value” like this: cos−1 (value), this will be called A1. Now let’s
obtain the “second interval”, which we’ll call A2, like this:
2π − cos−1 (value)
This will give us A2, which we’ll evaluate at the original function to obtain the value x
and solve for the second interval. NOTE: A2 SHOULD BE BETWEEN A1 AND 2PI
(DEP. ON THE PROBLEM).
