About this video
Do you have a hard time remembering when to use the Law of Sines and Cosines (also called the Sine Rule and Cosine Rule)? Do you wonder how to use the Sine Rule and Cosine Rule or what information is needed when you want to use the Sine Rule and Cosine Rule?
Well, I've got you covered. In this video we'll look at which sides and angles you need to use the Law of Sines and Law of Cosines and we'll compare them side by side, so you have a better understanding of when you should use the Law of Sine and when you should use the Law of Cosines.
And as a bonus, we'll also give you that quick reminder that you shouldn't forget about right triangles and SohCahToa either. There's so much to remember. In this video we'll help you sort it out.
