Định lí cosin: Trong tam giác \(ABC\) ta có:
\(\eqalign{
& {a^2} = {b^2} + {c^2} - 2bc.{\mathop{\rm cosA}\nolimits}\cr& \Rightarrow \cos A = {{{b^2} + {c^2} - {a^2}} \over {2bc}} \cr
& {b^2} = {c^2} + {a^2} - 2ca.{\mathop{\rm cosB}\nolimits}\cr& \Rightarrow {\mathop{\rm cosB}\nolimits} = {{{c^2} + {a^2} - {b^2}} \over {2ca}} \cr
& {c^2} = {a^2} + {b^2} - 2ab.{\mathop{\rm cosC}\nolimits}\cr& \Rightarrow {\mathop{\rm cosC}\nolimits} = {{{a^2} + {b^2} - {c^2}} \over {2ab}} \cr} \)
