1 7.2 Law of Cosines Day 1 Thurs Feb 12 Do Now Find the area of the triangle ABC given A = 113deg, b = 18.2 cm, c = 23.7 cm

2 p.608 #17-31 odds

3 Law of Cosines In any triangle ABC, When the angle in between is a right angle, the law of cosines reduces to the Pythagorean Theorem

4 Ex1 Solve triangle ABC if a = 32, c = 48, B = 125.2 degrees

5 Ex2 P.614 ex2

6 Ex3 Solve triangle RST if r = 3.5, s = 4.7, t = 2.8

7 Ex4 P.616 ex4

8 Closure When would we choose the law of sines or law of cosines when solving a triangle? HW: p.618 #1-15 odds 25 27 29

9 7.2 Law of Cosines Day 2 Tues Feb 17 Do Now Solve the triangle ABC, if possible B = 133 degrees, a = 12, c = 15

10 HW Review: p.618 #1-15 25-29
