The Law of Cosine

o a 2 = b2 + c 2 - 2bc cos a o b 2 = c 2 + a 2 - 2ca cos b o c 2 = a 2 + b 2 - 2ab cos g
b2 + c 2 - a 2 c2 + a 2 - b2 a 2 + b2 - c 2
o cos a = o cos b = o cos g =
2bc 2ca 2ab
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The Law of Sine

a b c
o = =
sin a sin b sin g
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The Law of Tangent

o
a - b tan 2
=
( a -b ) o
b - c tan 2
=
( b -g ) o
c - a tan 2
=
( g -a )
a + b tan a + b
2 ( ) b + c tan b +g
2 ( ) c + a tan g +a
2 ( )

Half Angles Formulas

o sin
a
=
( s - b )( s - c ) o sin
b
=
( s - c )( s - a ) o sin
g
=
( s - a )( s - b )
2 bc 2 ca 2 ab
a s(s - a) b s ( s - b) g s( s - c)
o cos = o cos = o cos =
2 bc 2 ca 2 ab
a
o tan =
( s - b )( s - c ) b
o tan =
( s - c )( s - a ) g
o tan =
( s - a )( s - b )
2 s(s - a) 2 s ( s - b) 2 s(s - c)
a+b+c
where s =
