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, A=40∘, B=60∘ and c=12. Find a to the nearest tenth.

  1. The angles add to 180°, so C = 80°.
  2. a/sin 40° = 12/sin 80°, so a = 12 sin 40° ÷ sin 80°.

The answer is 7.8.

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.

What you can put on this worksheet

The law of sines
In a triangle, C=60∘, B=45∘ and c=6. Find b exactly. → 26
The law of sines, any angle, rounded
In △ABC, m∠A=70∘, m∠C=73∘ and c=11. How long is side a, to the nearest tenth? → 10.8
The ambiguous case: how many triangles?
In a triangle, B=51∘, b=14 and c=13. How many triangles are possible? → 1
The ambiguous case: every possible angle
In △ABC, m∠C=51∘, a=13 and c=14. Find all possible measures of ∠A, to the nearest tenth of a degree. → m∠A≈46.2∘
Area from two sides and the angle between
In △ABC, m∠B=90∘, BC=7 and AB=8. Find the exact area of the triangle. → 28
Solve the whole triangle, including the two-triangle case
Solve the triangle:
m∠B=28∘,b=29,c=24, to the nearest tenth.
→ m∠A≈129.1∘, m∠C≈22.9∘, a≈47.9

Questions about these worksheets

Yes. Every law of sines sheet is free to print and free to download as a PDF. There is no account to make, no email to hand over and no limit on how many you take.

Yes. The answer key prints on a second page, and you can choose whether it shows each question beside its answer or just the answers in a list.

Yes. Print straight from the page, or download the PDF and print that. The sheet is laid out for paper rather than squeezed off a screen, so there is room to work under each question, and the answer key comes out on its own page.

Geometry is usually taken around 9th or 10th grade, though schools vary and plenty of students meet it earlier or later. Pick the difficulty rather than the grade: the easy level suits a first lesson on it, the hard level suits review before a test.

Yes, as many as you like. The questions are built fresh each time rather than picked from a fixed set of files, so pressing Generate gives a new sheet. That is what you want for a second class, a retake, or two students sitting next to each other.

That is the closest comparison, and Kuta Software is good software. It is also paid software you install on a computer. These worksheets run in a browser tab for free, with no account and nothing to install. Like Kuta, the law of sines questions are generated when you ask for them rather than pulled from a fixed set of files, so two classes never get the same sheet, and the answer key comes with it.

Yes. There are two levels, and you can tick more than one for a sheet that mixes them, in which case the questions come out easiest first. The harder levels are not just larger numbers: they ask for something the easy ones do not.

You pick from 6: the law of sines, the law of sines, any angle, rounded, the ambiguous case: how many triangles?, the ambiguous case: every possible angle, area from two sides and the angle between and solve the whole triangle, including the two-triangle case. Tick as many as you want and set how many of each, or let it spread them evenly.

Pairing a side with the wrong angle. The rule only works when the angle is opposite the side, not merely next to it.
