Notes:

Theorems that are useful:

Pythagorean Theorem: a2+b2=c2a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}

Trig ratio: sin⁡θ=OH\sin \theta = \frac{O}{H}

cos⁡θ=AH\cos \theta = \frac{A}{H}

tan⁡θ=OA\tan \theta = \frac{O}{A}

Law of sine: asin⁡A=bsin⁡B=csin⁡C\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C}

Law of cosine: c2=a2+b2−2abcos⁡Cc^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} - 2ab \cos C
