...relation, and a variant of the first formula we shall apply are: cos a cos C = sin a cot b - sin C cot B, cos A = -cos B cos C + sin B sin C cos a where "cot" means "I/tan" (not the inverse tan!). Analogous to Brigg's formulae are the following (2s... | |

...as points A and C are along the lines OA and OE, respectively. Finally, Eq. B.2 is re-expressed to cos a = cos b cos c + sin b sin c cos A Similarly, using the above principles, it can be shown that cos b = cos c cos a + sin c sin a cos B... | |

...The Law of Cosines for a Spherical Triangle In this section we demonstrate a proof of the cosine law: cos a = cos b cos c + sin b sin c cos A First, we derive some useful results for a right spherical triangle (ZC = 90° in Figure 2.3), which... | |
