FM20.5
Demonstrate understanding of the cosine law and sine law (including the ambiguous case).

[CN, PS, R]

Indicators for this outcome
Note: This outcome is very similar to P20.5 from Pre-calculus 20. The difference is that in Foundations of Mathematics 20, students are expected to explain steps in a given proof for either the cosine law or the sine law, but not to generate the proof on their own.
(a)

Identify and describe situations relevant to self, family, or community that involve triangles without a right angle.

(b)

Develop, generalize, explain, and apply strategies for determining angles or side lengths of triangles without a right angle.

(c)

Draw diagrams to represent situations in which the cosine law or sine law could be used to solve a question.

(d)

Explain the steps in a given proof of the sine law or cosine law.

(e)

Illustrate and explain how one, two, or no triangles could be possible for a given set of measurements for two side lengths and the non-included angle in a proposed triangle.

(f)

Develop, generalize, explain, and apply strategies for determining the number of solutions possible to a situation involving the ambiguous case.

(g)

Solve situational questions involving triangles without a right angle.
