Solution of Triangles — Preparation
This question tests your understanding of Solution of Triangles, a key topic in the Quantitative Aptitude section. The detailed solution above uses a step-by-step approach to show the reasoning, and where available, a shortcut that helps you solve similar questions in under 90 seconds during the actual exam.
Solving a triangle means finding all its unknown sides and angles from the given information. Every triangle has six elements (three sides and three angles), and in general three suitable elements, including at least one side, are enough to find the rest. This topic covers the standard cases: three sides given (use the cosine rule), two sides and the included angle (cosine rule, then sine rule), two angles and a side (sine rule), and two sides with a non-included angle, the ambiguous case where zero, one or two triangles may be possible. Exam questions test choosing the right rule, handling the ambiguous case correctly, and using the angle sum A + B + C = 180 degrees to find the remaining angle. Practise the solution of triangles questions below, each with a step-by-step solution.
