What does your textbook say about Properties of Triangle?
One important use of trigonometry is to solve practical problems that can be modeled by a triangle. Determination of all the sides and angles of a triangle is referred as solving the triangle. In any triangle, the three sides and three angles are called basic elements of a triangle. Pythagorean theorem plays a vital role in finding solution of the right triangle. The law of sines and the law of cosines are important tools that can be used effectively in solving an oblique triangle ( a triangle with no right angle). In this section, we shall discuss the relationship between the sides and angles of a triangle and derive the law of sines and the law of cosines. Notation: Let ABC be a triangle.

In any triangle, the three sides and three angles are called basic elements of a triangle. Pythagorean theorem plays a vital role in finding solution of the right triangle.
The law of sines and the law of cosines are important tools that can be used effectively in solving an oblique triangle ( a triangle with no right angle). In this section, we shall discuss the relationship between the sides and angles of a triangle and derive the law of sines and the law of cosines. Notation: Let ABC be a triangle. The angles of △ ABC corre- sponding to the vertices A, B, C are denoted by A, B, C them- selves.
The sides opposite to the angles A, B, C are denoted by a, b, c respectively. Also we use the symbol △ to denote the area of a triangle.
