1. The sine rule is used when we are given either a) two angles and one side, or b) two sides and a non-included angle. i. True
ii. False

2. The cosine rule is used when we are given either a) three sides or b) two sides and the included angle.

i. True
ii. False

A. Yes

B. Yes

Explanation:

We want to evaluate the validity of the given assertions.

1. The first statement is true

The sine rule stipulates that the ratio of a side and the sine of the angle facing the side is a constant for all sides of the triangle.

Hence, to use it, it’s either we have two sides and an angle and we are tasked with calculating the value of the non given side

Or

We have two angles and a side and we want to calculate the value of the side provided we have the angle facing this side in question.

For notation purposes;

We can express the it for a triangle having three sides a, b, c and angles A,B, C with each lower case letter being the side that faces its corresponding big letter angles

a/Sin A = b/Sin B = c/Sin C

2. The cosine rule looks like the Pythagoras’s theorem in notation but has a subtraction extension that multiplies two times the product of the other two sides and the cosine of the angle facing the side we want to calculate

So let’s say we want to calculate the side a in a triangle of sides a, b , c and we have the angle facing the side A

That would be;

a^2 = b^2 + c^2 -2bcCosA

So yes, the cosine rule can be used for the scenario above
