Law of Cosines

Revision as of 15:36, 29 July 2006 by JBL (talk | contribs)

The Law of Cosines is a formula used in finding lengths and angles of a triangle. For a triangle with sides $a$, $b$, and $c$ opposite angles $A$, $B$, and $C$ respectively, the Law of Cosines states:

$c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab\cos C$

$b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2ac\cos B$

$a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc\cos A$
