Solution of Triangles

718 image Right-angled triangles are solved by formula 𝑐2=𝑎2+𝑏2 719 {𝑎=𝑐sin𝐴𝑏=𝑐cos𝐴𝑎=𝑏tan𝐴

Scalene Triangles

Case I

The equation 𝑎sin𝐴=𝑏sin𝐵701 will determine any one of the four quantities 𝐴, 𝐵, 𝑎, 𝑏 when the remaining three are known.

The Ambiguous Case

721 image When, in Case I, two sides and an acute angle opposite to one of them are given, we have,, from the figure, sin𝐶=𝑐sin𝐴𝑎 Then 𝐶 and 180−𝐶 are the vlues of 𝐶 and 𝐶′, by (622). Also 𝑏=𝑐cos𝐴±𝑎2−𝑐2sin2𝐴 because 𝑏=𝐴𝐷±𝐷𝐶 722 When an angle 𝐵 is to be determined from the equation sin𝐵=𝑏𝑎sin𝐴 and 𝑏𝑎 is a small fraction; the circular measure of 𝐵 may be approximated to by putting sin(𝐵+𝐶) for sin𝐴, and using theorem (796). 723

Case II

When two sides 𝑏, 𝑐 and the included angle 𝐴 are known, the third side 𝑎 is given by the formula 𝑎2=𝑏2+𝑐2−2𝑏𝑐cos𝐴702 when logarithms are not used. 724 Otherwise, employ the following formula with logarithms, tan𝐵−𝐶2=𝑏−𝑐𝑏+𝑐cot𝐴2 725 Obtained from 𝑏−𝑐𝑏+𝑐=sin𝐵−sin𝐶sin𝐵+sin𝐶(701), and then applying (670) and (671).
𝐵+𝐶2 having been found from the above equation, and 𝐵+𝐶2 being equal to 90°−𝐴2, we have 𝐵=𝐵+𝐶2+𝐵−𝐶2, 𝐶=𝐵+𝐶2𝐵−𝐶2 𝐵 and 𝐶 having been determined 𝑎 can be found by Case I. 726 If the logarithms of 𝑏 and 𝑐 are known, the trouble of taking out log(𝑏−𝑐) and log(𝑏+𝑐) may be avoided by employing the subsidiary angle 𝜃=tan−1𝑏𝑐, and the formula 727 tan12(𝐵−𝐶)=tan𝜃−𝜋4cot𝐴2655 728 Or else the subsidiary angle 𝜃=cos−1𝑐𝑏, and the formula tan12(𝐵−𝐶)=tan2𝜃2cot𝐴2643 729 𝑎=(𝑏+𝑐)sin𝐴2cos12(𝐵−𝐶)From the figure in 960, by drawing a perpendicular from 𝐵 to 𝐸𝐶 produced. 730 If 𝑎 be required in terms of 𝑏, 𝑐 and 𝐴 alone, and in a form adapted to logarithmic computation, employ the subsidiary angle 𝜃=sin−14𝑏𝑐(𝑏+𝑐)2cos2𝐴2 and the formula 𝑎=(𝑏+𝑐)cos𝜃702, 637

Case III

When the three sides are known, the angles may be found without employing logarithms, from the formula 731 cos𝐴=𝑏2+𝑐2−𝑎22𝑏𝑐703 732 If logarithms are to be used, take the formula for sin𝐴2, cos𝐴2, tan𝐴2, (704), and (705).

Quadrilateral Inscribed in a Circle
