  • The cosine rule
    We can use the cosine formula to find the length of a side or size of an angle.
    For a triangle with sides a,b and c and angles A, B and C the cosine rule can be written as:
    a2 = b2 + c2 - 2bc cos A
    or
    b2 = a2 + c2 - 2ac cos B
    or
    c2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab cos C
    These formulae can be rearranged to give :
    cos A = b to the power 2 + c to the power 2 - a to the power 2 over 2 b c
    cos B = a to the power 2 + c to the power 2 - b to the power 2 divided by 2 a c
    cos C = a to the power 2 + b to the power 2 - c to the power 2
