Solving for <em>Angles</em>

\displaystyle \frac{a^2 + b^2 - c^2}{2ab} = cos∠C \\ \frac{a^2 - b^2 + c^2}{2ac} = cos∠B \\ \frac{-a^2 + b^2 + c^2}{2bc} = cos∠A

* Do not forget to use the <em>inverse</em> function towards the end, or elce you will throw your answer off!

Solving for <em>Edges</em>

\displaystyle b^2 + a^2 - 2ba\:cos∠C = c^2 \\ c^2 + a^2 - 2ca\:cos∠B = b^2 \\ c^2 + b^2 - 2cb\:cos∠A = a^2

You would use this law under <em>two</em> conditions:

  • One angle and two edges defined, while trying to solve for the <em>third edge</em>
  • ALL three edges defined

* Just make sure to use the <em>inverse</em> function towards the end, or elce you will throw your answer off!

_____________________________________________

Now, JUST IN CASE, you would use the Law of Sines under <em>three</em> conditions:

  • Two angles and one edge defined, while trying to solve for the <em>second edge</em>
  • One angle and two edges defined, while trying to solve for the <em>second angle</em>
  • ALL three angles defined [<em>of which does not occur very often, but it all refers back to the first bullet</em>]

* I HIGHLY suggest you keep note of all of this significant information. You will need it going into the future.

I am delighted to assist you at any time.
