Activity: Law of Cosines

A. Solve the triangle ABC with the given parts.


1. a=7.5, b=10.35, C=43⁰
2. a=23, c=19.12, B=50⁰
3. b=2.88, c=7.9, A=110
4. a=11, b=13, c=7
5. a=8.84, b= 22.6, c=25

B. Solve the following problems.


1. The equal sides of an isosceles triangle are each 29 units long and the vertex angle is 35⁰. Find the
base of the triangle.

2. A ladder 24ft long is leaning against a sloping embankment. The foot of the ladder is 11ft from the base
of the embankment, and the distance from the top of the ladder down the embankment to the ground is
16ft.what is the angle at which the embankment is inclined to the horizontal?

3. Two ships are sailing from Siargao. The Nina is sailing due east and the Pinta sailing 43⁰ south of east.
After an hour, the Nina has travelled 115km and the Pinta has travelled 98km. How far apart are the
two ships?

4. To estimate the length of a lake, Cale starts at one end of the lake and walks 95m.He then turns and
walks on a new path, which is 120⁰ to the direction he was first walking in, and walks 87 more until he
arrives at the other end of the lake. Approximately how long is the lake?

5. Jack and Jill both start at point A. They each walk in a straight line at an angle of 105⁰ to each other.
After 45 minutes Jack has walked 4.5km and Jill has walked 6km.How far apart are they?
