Solving Triangles
This lesson is the next step in applying the three primary trigonometric ratios to solving triangles. Up until this point each lesson specifically focused on one of the three ratios and how to use that to solve for unknown angles and sides of a right-angle triangle. Now, we are applying all these skills to the same questions.
When a question requires "solving a triangle" it's asking to solve for all three angles and all three side lengths. To do this requires selecting and choosing the appropriate trig ratio to use.
The video below outlines an example of steps to use to solve a triangle:
