1. Is each statement true (T) or false (F)? a) You can solve a triangle using the sine law if you are given the length of all three sides. b) The sine, cosine, and tangent ratios can only be used for right triangles. c) You can use the sine law or cosine law to solve a right triangle. d) An angle of elevation is always measured from the horizontal.
