Law of sines worksheet for Geometry
Geometry brings in the law of sines once right-triangle trig runs out: with no right angle, SOH-CAH-TOA does not apply directly. Most questions give two angles and a side, or two sides and an angle, and ask for a missing piece, exact or to the nearest tenth; some ask how many triangles fit.
Also taught in Algebra 2 and Precalculus, each at its own level and with its own examples.

How to do these
In a triangle, , and . Find to the nearest tenth.
- The angles add to 180°, so C = 80°.
- a/sin 40° = 12/sin 80°, so a = 12 sin 40° ÷ sin 80°.
The answer is .
Where students go wrong
Skipping the third angle. Side c pairs with angle C, which you only get from 180° - A - B; without it there is no complete side-angle pair to start from.
Also called sine rule or solving oblique triangles.
