Key Topics to Revise

1

Sine Rule (Law of Sines)

  • The sine rule establishes a relationship between sides and opposite angles of any triangle
  • It is used when we know two angles and one side (AAS or ASA cases) or two sides and an angle opposite to one of them (SSA case)
  • The circumradius R can be calculated using the sine rule
2

Cosine Rule (Law of Cosines)

  • The cosine rule relates all three sides of a triangle with one of its angles
  • It is used when we know all three sides (SSS case) or two sides and the included angle (SAS case)
  • It generalizes the Pythagorean theorem for any triangle
3

Projection Formula

  • The projection formula expresses each side as the sum of projections of the other two sides
  • It provides an alternative approach to many triangle problems
  • Useful in proving various trigonometric identities involving triangles
4

Half-Angle Formulas and Area Calculations

  • Half-angle formulas express trigonometric ratios of half-angles in terms of the sides
  • Heron's formula gives area when all three sides are known
  • The semi-perimeter s plays a crucial role in both area and half-angle formulas
