16 wrz 2022 · Use the Law of Cosines to prove that the sum of the squares of the diagonals of any parallelogram equals the sum of the squares of the sides. Figure \(\PageIndex{2}\) Solution:
How to use the Law of Cosines, Proof for the Law of Cosines, how to use the Law of Cosines when given two sides and an included angle, when given three sides, how to solve applications or word problems using the Law of Cosine, examples and step by step solutions
The Law of Cosines says that. a2 = b2 + c2. 2bc cos A c2 + a2 = b2 2ac cos B c2 = a2 + b2. 2ab cos C. This will help us when the Law of Sines doesn't work well (For example, when we are given the lengths of all 3 sides of the triangle, or when we are given the lengths of two sides as well as the measure between them).
