Solving Right-Angled Triangles
Topic Content:
- Solving Right-Angled Triangles
Sometimes it is useful to use both trigonometric ratios and Pythagoras rule to solve a right-angled triangle.
Solving a right-angled triangle means finding the unknown sides and angles.
For example in ΔABC shown below:

by Pythagoras theorem
|BC|2 = |AB|2 + |AC|2
Sin B = \( \frac{Opp}{Hyp} = \frac{b}{a} \)
Sin C = \( \frac{Opp}{Hyp} = \frac{c}{a} \)
Cos B = \( \frac{Adj}{Hyp} = \frac{c}{a} \)
Cos C
