The Law of Cosines
One method for solving for a missing length or angle of a triangle is by using the law of cosines. The law of cosines is similar to the Pythagorean theorem, but it works for all triangles, not just right triangles. In order to understand how to use the law of cosines effectively, one must understand the cosine function and inverse trigonometric functions.
