The sine and cosine rules, and the Including the ambiguous case of the sine rule. area of a triangle in the form 1 ab sin C.

Use sine rule, cosine rule and triangle area to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because sine rule, cosine rule and triangle area determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply sine rule, cosine rule and triangle area to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.
