solution of triangles
Properties and solution of triangles :
 
r = 4R SinA/2.SinB/2.SinC/2
 
Sine rule :
 
a/Sina = b/Sinb = c/Sinc = 2R
 
Cosine rule :
 
CosA = b2+c2-a2/2bc
 
Projection rule :
 
a = bCosC + cCosB
 
Napier's rule :
 
tan(A-B/2) = [(a-b)/(a+b)]Cot C/2
 
Half angle Formulae :
 
Sin A/2 =  [(s-b)(s-c)/bc]1/2
 
 
Cos A/2 = [s(s-a)/bc]1/2
 
 
tan A/2 = [(s-b)(s-c)/s(s-a)]1/2
 
 
Where 2s = a+b+c
 
Circumradius :
 
R = abc/4
 
Inradius :
 
r = /s = (s-a)tan A/2
 
Exradius :
 
r0 = /(s-a) = s tan A/2
 
Solution of triangles :
 
1)given a,b,c apply Cosine rule or half angle rule.
 
2)given b,c,A apply Napier's rule.
 
3)given a,B,C apply sine rule.
 
4)given b,c,B apply sine rule to obtain sinC (cases):
 
For acute B:
 
if SinC > 1  No triangle
 
if SinC = 1  one right angled triangle.
 
if SinC < 1 & cSinB < b < c  Two triangles.
 
if SinC < 1 & b  c  one triangle.
 
For Obtuse :
 
if b > c  one triangle.
 
if b  c  no triangle.
 
Area of triangle :
 

 = 1/2(bcSinA) = [s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)]1/2
 
 
Area of cyclic quadrilateral ABCD =
 
[(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)(s-d)]1/2
 
 
Where 2s = a+b+c+d.
 
Ptolmey's theorem :
 
AC.BD = AB.CD + BC.AD
 
Area of n sided regular polygon
 
= nR2/2[Sin(2/n)]
 
Where R = radius of circumsircle.
 
= nR2[tan(/n)]
 
Hope you all find it useful.
 
Cheers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
