Starting with             s      i      n      t        4    =            s      i      n      u        5    =            s      i      n      w        6  , then use the law of sines to get:       a    4    =      b    5    =      c    6  . So   a  =            2      c        3  ,   b  =            5      c        6  . So apply the law of cosines to have:       a    2    =      b    2    +      c    2    −  2  b  c  c  o  s  A. Substituting these values of   a and   b into the above equation we can solve for   c  o  s  A, and then   t  a  n  B, and   t  a  n  A, and   t  a  n  C.
