It's true, the Pythagorean theorem is mid. Unless the angle in question is 90 degrees, what good is ol' Pythagoras? Well, in these situations we must use more robust results. Today we'll see how the law of cosines and the law of sines are crucial for solving triangles in general cases where Pythagoras does not apply. This includes looking at the ambiguous case of SSA. #maths #geometry #mathematics Get Math Clothes at Join Wrath of Math to get exclusive videos, lecture notes, and more: ★DONATE★ ◆ Support Wrath of Math on Patreon: ◆ Donate on PayPal: Outro music by me and available for channel members.
