The
height
of
a
slide
is
10
feet.
If
the
slide
is
15
feet
long,
what
is
the
angle
of
elevation
of
the
slide?
cos
(0.0391)
sin = 0.2202
Up
until
this
point,
our
study
of
trigonometry
has
only
let
us
look
at
right
triangles.
We
can
use
the
Law
of
Sines
or
Law
of
Cosines
to
nd
the
missing
angles
and
sides
of
any
triangle.
We
will
also
be
able
to
nd
their
areas.

We
can
use
the
Law
of
Sines
to
develop
another
formula
for
the
area
of
a
triangle.

The
Law
of
Cosines
can
be
used
to
derive
yet
another
formula
for
the
area
of
a
triangle.
Use
this
formula
when
you
know
all
three
sides.

Area = s ( s a ) ( s b) ( s c)
