8 -5 Law of Sines and Law of Cosines The Law of Sines cannot be used to solve every triangle. If you know two side lengths and the included angle measure or if you know all three side lengths, you cannot use the Law of Sines. Instead, you can apply the Law of Cosines. Holt Geometry

8 -5 Law of Sines and Law of Cosines Example 3 A: Using the Law of Cosines Find the measure. Round lengths to the nearest tenth and angle measures to the nearest degree. XZ XZ 2 = XY 2 + YZ 2 – 2(XY)(YZ)cos Y = 352 + 302 – 2(35)(30)cos 110° XZ 2 2843. 2423 XZ 53. 3 Holt Geometry Law of Cosines Substitute the given values. Simplify. Find the square root of both sides.

8 -5 Law of Sines and Law of Cosines Example 3 B: Using the Law of Cosines Find the measure. Round lengths to the nearest tenth and angle measures to the nearest degree. m T RS 2 = RT 2 + ST 2 – 2(RT)(ST)cos T 72 = 132 + 112 – 2(13)(11)cos T 49 = 290 – 286 cos. T – 241 = – 286 cos. T Holt Geometry Law of Cosines Substitute the given values. Simplify. Subtract 290 both sides.
