What is the area formula for a right triangle that gives you the altitude? What is the area formula for a triangle with two sides and an angle in between?

A= 1/2 x Base x Height

A=1/2 x A x B x Sin C   

or

A=1/2 x Side 1 x Side 2 x (Sin<)

What are the 3 trig functions and what are they equal to (aka what is their ratio formulas)?

Sin<=Opp/Hyp

Cos<=Adj/Hyp

Tan<=Opp/Adj

What is the Law of Sine formula(s) and explain the difference?

a/Sin A = b/SinB = c/SinC to find a missing side


SinA/a = SinB/b =SinC/c to find a missing angle

What is the law of Cosine formula?

a2=b2+c2-2(b)(c)CosA

or 

(Missing or Opposite side)2=(side1)2+(side2)2-2(side1)(side2)Cos(<)
