So Im in geometry. You know sines, cosines and that. I need help with the Law of Cosines and Sines. I recently broke up with Google so I cant use it. And Reflex99 knows nothing of math, so you closet matheletes step up and HALP ME PL0X I HAVE A TEST ON THIS TOMORROW!
 
sorry the only thing I've done with Geometry in the last 2 years is Geometry wars.

To my best knowledge it's a formula using triangle lengths and angles to figure out the unknown edges of said triangles. That's all I got, and honestly that's a summary of what I found on Wikipedia (lol).

My harsh answer to your request (said with the best intentions) include:
1) pay more attention in Geometry Class
2) take your textbook home and study

Math at its basic form is problem solving, and if you can get good at problem solving it will help you out with tons of stuff in your life, not to mention you can help others too.

Good luck with your test!
 
Your school doesn't have tutoring? If they do you obviously knew you had a test so why wait till now to ask for help? And another thing the internet is a big place....there are more search engines out there then just google.



This should be what you need http://www.clarku.edu/~djoyce/trig/laws.html

But really i'm with spit on this one and it might take you failing a test to push you to make a bigger effort (me i'm the laziest person in the world and could care either way but it still could help you :P )
 
Well you see. I just got off from breeak and my teacher just told me today the test.so yeah not enough time to get tutoring.
 
I covered this 2 quarters ago in college and im now using it for Physics, so get ahold of me through xfire or steam and ill give you a rundown. I can use vent too
 
Uh, what do you need help on? I don't understand. Geometry does encompass a bit. What about the law of cosines and sines? They're just used to find sides or angles that you unknown. For example, using the law of cosine c^2=a^2+b^2-abcos(theta), where a, b, and c are the sides of the triangle and theta is the angle between the lengths a and b, you can find any of these is one is unknown while the others are known. For sines, as you know the sine law which is sin(theta)/a=sin(beta)/b, you can find any of these if one is unknown while the others are known.

I'm pretty sure those are the formulas. I haven't done geometry in 6ish years, and I'm too lazy to go wikipedia this. These formulas are just based off memory. All of this should be pretty trivial. Just plug and chug using elementary algebra.

Go ace this test for me. :)
 
Thanks for the help guys, I'm off to school and lets see what I'll get. Ill post an update tonight about how I felt about it. seeing as I never get my tests back for like a month...
 
math.com

Yahoo searching geometry help

etc should help you and the last time i did that stuff was 2 years ago ^.^

Next time don't wait so long to ask for help...ask if you don't understand and study at least an hour each night of the stuff u do in school that day. It will help you retain it.
 
yeaahhh, i just hate math in general. Well, seeing as I knew most of the test I think ill get like a C on it. but then again I can go back in for test corrections (which I will do anyways) and bring it up.
