I. LESSON TITLE Law of Sines
II. MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING Illustrates law of sines.
COMPETENCIES (MELCs) (M9GE-IVf-1)
III. CONTENT/CORE CONTENT Illustrates the law of sines and discuss the different cases where we can apply
these laws in solving oblique triangles.
IV. LEARNING PHASES AND LEARNING ACTIVITIES
I. Introduction
Given the figure on the right,
1. What kind of triangle is shown?
2. Is there any possible way to determine the length of the third side without
directly measuring it?
3. Why the Pythagorean Theorem cannot be used to determine the length of
the third side?

In this lesson, you will learn to use the sine law to determine measures of triangles that are not right triangles.

D. Development
LAW OF SINES
To derive the law of sines, we are going use oblique triangles. By the way, an oblique triangle is a triangle that is not a
right triangle such as acute triangle and obtuse triangle. Let us use figure 1 – acute triangle and figure 2 – obtuse triangle.
The following discussion applies to both triangles. First, construct the perpendicular line from B to side AC. Let h be the
length of this perpendicular. Then c is the hypotenuse of right triangle ADB, and a is the hypotenuse of right triangle BDC.

The law of sines allows you to solve a triangle as long as you know either of the following:
1. Two angle measures and any side length – side-angle-angle (SAA) or angle-side-angle (ASA) information.
2. Two side lengths and the measure of an angle that is not between them – side-side-angle (SSA) information.

For examples on this two cases, see pages 481-488 of Grade 9 Learner’s Material. This will help you in accomplishing the
next learning tasks.
E. Engagement
Applying the law of sines, solve the following problems. Round to the nearest hundredth.
1. Solve ∆MNP where N = 125°, P = 35°, and m = 12.
2. Solve ∆ABC if A = 63°, a = 39, and b = 42.
3. Solve ∆EFG given E = 35°, e = 16, and f = 10.
A. Assimilation
Answer the following accordingly.
1. State the law of sines.
2. In which cases, can we use the law of sines?
V. ASSESSMENT
A. Solve the following triangles. Round to the nearest tenth.
