Warm Up
The course for a boat race starts at point A and proceeds in the direction S 52o W to point B, then in the direction S 40o E to point C, and finally back to A. The point C lies 8 km directly south of point A. Approximate the total distance of the race course.

6.2 law of cosines.notebook February 27, 2018
To solve an oblique triangle, you need to know:
1. Two angles and any side(AAS or ASA)
2. Two sides and an angle opposite one of them(SSA)
3. Three sides
4. Two sides and their included angle (SAS)
Given 3 sides of a triangle, how do we know it forms a triangle?
Are there restrictions on SAS to form a triangle?
