The Law of Sines **
 * //__ Chapter 5 Section 1 __//

__Terms You Should Know:__


 * Oblique Triangle **: any triangle without a right triangle

Ambiguous Case : for two sides and a nonincluded angle there is more than one possible outcome for each measure of the sides and angles. Instead of the angle just being in the first quadrant it can also be in th second therefore you must subtract each measure from 180 to get your second possibility.


 * //To Solve These Triangles//**:
 * In order to solve these triangles, due to the fact that there isn't a 90 degree angle the processes below will be used to solve triangles in this section.

1 . One side and any two angles (**ASA** or **AAS**) 2 . Two sides and a nonincluded angle(**SSA**) 3 . Two sides and an included angle(**SAS**) 4 . Three sides (**SSS**)

**__THE LAW OF SINES__** The ratio of the sine of an angle and the length of the side opposite the angle is the same for each angle of a triangle.
