17. SOLUTION OF TRIANGLE :

Case-I : Three sides are given then to find out three angles use
\(\cos A=\dfrac{b^{2}+c^{2}-a^{2}}{2 b c}, \cos B=\dfrac{c^{2}+a^{2}-b^{2}}{2 a c} \) & \(\cos C=\dfrac{a^{2}+b^{2}-c^{2}}{2 a b}\)

Case-II : Two sides & included angle are given:

Let sides \(a, b \) & angle \(C\) are given then use \(\tan \dfrac{A-B}{2}=\dfrac{a-b}{a+b} \cot \dfrac{C}{2}\) and find value of \(A-B\).....(i)

& \( \dfrac{A+B}{2}=90^{\circ}-\dfrac{C}{2}\)....(ii) \(\quad c=\dfrac{a \sin C}{\sin A}\).....(iii)

Case-III :

SOLUTION OF TRIANGLE

Two sides \(\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b} \) \(\&\) angle \(\mathrm{A}\) opposite to one of them is given

(a) If \(\mathrm{a}<\mathrm{b} \sin \mathrm{A} \quad\) No triangle exist
(b) If \(a=b \sin A \) & \(A\) is acute, then one triangle exist which is right angled.
(c) \(\mathrm{a}>\mathrm{bsin} \mathrm{A}, \mathrm{a}<\mathrm{b} \) & \(\mathrm{~A}\) is acute, then two triangles exist
(d) \(\mathrm{a}>\mathrm{bsin} \mathrm{A}, \mathrm{a}>\mathrm{b} \) & \(\mathrm{~A}\) is acute, then one triangle exist
(e) \(\mathrm{a}>\mathrm{bsin} \mathrm{A} \) &  \(\mathrm{~A}\) is obtuse, then there is one triangle if \(\mathrm{a}>\mathrm{b}\) & no triangle if \(\mathrm{a}<\mathrm{b}\).

Note : Case-III can be analysed algebraically using Cosine rule as \(\cos A=\dfrac{b^{2}+c^{2}-a^{2}}{2 b c}\), which is quadratic in \(c\).


18. ANGLES OF ELEVATION AND DEPRESSION

In Fig. (b) where the object \(\mathrm{R}\) is below the horizontal line OP, the angle POR is called the angle of depression of the object \(\mathrm{R}\) as seen from the point \(\mathrm{O}\).
