How to do these

In a triangle, a=7, b=5 and C=60. Find c

  1. The law of cosines: c squared equals a squared plus b squared minus 2ab cos C.
  2. 49 plus 25 minus 2(7)(5)(one half).
  3. That is 39.

The answer is 39.

Where students go wrong

Choosing the wrong rule. If you have a side and the angle opposite it, use sines; if you have two sides and the angle between them, only cosines will work. The other slip is forgetting that the correction term is subtracted, not added.

Also called sine rule, cosine rule, non-right triangles or oblique triangles.

What you can put on this worksheet

A missing angle, from three sides
In a triangle, c=7, a=15 and b=13. Find B 60

Questions about these worksheets

Yes. Every law of sines and cosines 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 and cosines 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 three 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 3: the law of sines, a missing side, from two sides and the angle between and a missing angle, from three sides. Tick as many as you want and set how many of each, or let it spread them evenly.

Choosing the wrong rule. If you have a side and the angle opposite it, use sines; if you have two sides and the angle between them, only cosines will work. The other slip is forgetting that the correction term is subtracted, not added.
