Law of Sines
 |
|
The law of sines is a formula relating the ratios of sines of angles to the opposite side lengths for a general triangle.
Law of sines is a high school-level concept that would be first encountered in a trigonometry course. It is listed in the California State Standards for Trigonometry.
Prerequisites
| Sine: | The sine is the ratio of the length of a given angle's opposite side to the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle. |
| Triangle: | A triangle is a three-sided (and three-angled) polygon. |
| Trigonometry: | Trigonometry is the study of angles and of the angular relationships of planar and three-dimensional figures. |
