第十章练习——任何三角形
在计算之前,先问一下:给出了什么? Two sides and the angle between them, or the three sides, require the law of cosines; one side and the opposite angle, the law of sines. In this chapter the printed template has several errors; when the answer here differs from him, the difference is explained.
余弦定律 360 三角形的两条边的尺寸为 8 米和 12 米,并在它们之间形成 $120^\circ$ 角。计算第三边。
查看分辨率调用 $b = 8$ 和 $c = 12$ 给定的边以及 $\hat{A} = 120^\circ$ 它们之间的角度,余弦定律给出
$$a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc\cos\hat{A} = 64 + 144 - 2 \cdot 8 \cdot 12 \cdot \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right) = 64 + 144 + 96 = 304,$$然后 $a = \sqrt{304} = 4\sqrt{19}$ 米。
