Intro

Tl;dr, the law of sines is:

 \frac{\sin(\alpha)}{a} = \frac{\sin(\beta)}{b} = \frac{\sin(\gamma)}{c} 
  • Any triangle that is not a right triangle is called an oblique triangle. There are two types of oblique triangles:
    • Acute triangles: This is an oblique triangle where all three interior angles are less than 90\degree or \dfrac{\pi}{2} radians.
    • Obtuse Triangle: This is an oblique triangle where one of the interior angles is greater than 90\degree.
