Test Revisions• Overall goal: YOU learning new concepts and problem-
solving skills• Test goal: To see what you have learned, what you are still
learning, and to provide MULTIPLE opportunities to show mastery
1. Today, we will review the FIRST test answers together – take notes!
2. You will have until next class to study3. Next class, you will retake ONLY the questions you missed on
a NEW test4. Next class, you will turn in BOTH the NEW test AND the
FIRST test5. You need to retake questions if you have a 10 or less. A score
of 10/14 is 71.4 percent, which is a C-.
• If you haven’t taken the test yet:1. Take notes today2. Next class, you will take the NEW test
Objectives1. Use the Law of Sines to solve for the sides and angles of
ANY triangle.2. Use the Law of Cosines to solve for the sides and angles
of ANY triangle.3. Use sine to find the Area of a Triangle.

• a, b, and c are sides• A, B, and C are angles
• Side a faces angle A; side b faces angle B; side c faces angle C
• Any two (2) fractions can be used from this equation to find the missing pieces
• It works for ANY triangle (not only right triangles)

Law of Sines: Does it work?• a, b, and c are sides• A, B, and C are angles
• Side a faces angle A; side b faces angle B; side c faces angle C
