Sine and Cosine Laws

Let us study law of sines and cosines,

In trigonometry, we will learn about sine and cosine law is very useful for solving the triangles. In a triangle, there are three sides, and three angles namely a, b, c are the sides of triangle. Here C is the angle opposite to the side c. B is the angle opposite to the side b. A is the angle opposite to the side a.
