A a b c C B [1] [2] Review- Sine Rule A C B SOLUTION: sin B = 0.346 B= 20.27° 15cm 1200 6 cm Exercise: Sometimes the sine rule is not enough to solve the problems Like this . C B A 300 14 18 a A a b c C B Cosine Rule In any triangle, a2 = b2+ c2 - 2bc cos A b2 = a2 + c2 - 2ac cos B c2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab cos C A B C a b c D 1) In an acute triangle Draw the perpendicular from A to meet CB at D. Proof： AD=?, BD=? A B C a b c D b A a c C B D 2) In a obtuse triangle Draw the perpendicular from A to meet CB at D. 3) In a right-angle triangle, From Pythagorean theorem，we can also get that A a b c C B Cosine Rule Exercise In the accompany diagram, find BD to 2 decimal places. 85° 12cm 18cm 135° B D A C Solution： BD=BC+CD=16.906+6.283=23.189=23.19 A fishing boat leaves a harbour (H) and travels to East for 40 miles to a marker buoy (B). Then the boat turns left and sails for 24 miles to a lighthouse (L). It then returns to harbour, a distance of 57 miles. Make a sketch of the journey. Find the bearing of the lighthouse from the harbour.
