The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- According to the law, a sin α = b sin β = c sin γ = 2 R, where a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides of a triangle, and α, β, and γ are the opposite angles, while R is the radius of the triangle's circumcircle.
- When the last part of the equation is not used, the law is sometimes stated using the reciprocals, sin α a = sin β b = sin γ c. The law of sines can be used to compute the remaining sides of a triangle when two angles and a side are known, a technique known as triangulation.
- It can also be used when two sides and one of the non-enclosed angles are known.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Law of sines article was read about 96,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 69 and blocks with 60: each hit it takes is cut by 24 %.
