BQ# 1: Unit P Concepts 1-5

1. Law of Sines: The law of sines is important in finding the values for non-right triangles. By setting up a proportion, one can find the value of a side or an angle in a triangle if we have all the necessary information. The law of sines works best when we have an angle-angle-side, angle-side-angle, or even an side-side-angle triangle.

5. Area Formulas: All three formulas to find the area of the triangle--the "traditional" formula, area of an oblique triangle, and Heron's formula--will result in the same value: 4.2 units squared.
