Area of a Triangle.ppt

Area of Triangle b The SAS case (the given angle must be contained between the given two sides): C A B a c b and sides “c” and “b”, c a Given ?A . c A C B a b h SinA= h=bSinA A= ch A= b c SinA = cbSinA D Notice Do you dare to challenge? C a b Solution: Have a try! Find the areas of the following triangles ： (1)a=4,b=5,∠C=30° (2)b=8,c=10,∠A=60° A C B c a b The ASS case (the given angle is not contained between the given two sides): Given side “a”, and “c” and “?C ”, find “?A”. B C A c a 7cm 6cm C A B Do you dare to challenge? a c b Solution: applying the sine rule to find ? A, we have The ASS case (the given angle is not contained between the given two sides): Given side “a”, and “c” and “?C ”, find “?A”. here we use the sine rule B C A c a b The SSS case: C A B a c b Given sides “a”, “b” and “c” c a 20 C B A 10 15 a b c applying the cosine rule to find ? A bcSinA = = = we have Solution:
