# 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 $90\degree$.
