Objectives:
1. Use the law of cosines to find unknown
parts of a triangle.
When to use Law of Cosines
ï‚—We know both SAS and SSS
determine unique triangles.
ï‚—Law of Cosines can be used to solve
a triangle for either case.
Deriving Law of Cosines
ï‚—By the distance formula:
Example 1:
ï‚—Two sides of a triangle have lengths 3
cm and 7 cm and the angle between
them is 130°. Find the length of the
third side.
Alternate Form
ï‚—Solving the law of cosines for cos C
gives:
which is used to find angles when all 3
side lengths are given.
Example 2:
ï‚—The lengths of the sides of a triangle
are 5, 10, and 12. Solve the triangle.
Example 3:
ï‚—Find AD.
You Try!
ï‚—A triangle has side lengths 6, 12 and
15. Find the length of the median to
the longest side.
