Page 83 - B is negative, and BD — — a cos B. The substitution of this in (4) leads us again to (3). Thus we see that (3) is true in all cases. THE LAW OF COSINES. The square of any side .of a plane triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides minus twice their product times the cosine of the included angle. This may be regarded as a generalization of the Pythagorean Theorem to which it reduces when the included angle is a right angle. These two laws are among the most important of...
