Why do we have two pages, [[Sine rule]] and [[Law of sines]]? Please make a redirect of one to the other. [[User:David E. Volk|David E.

:My mistake. I wrote [[Sine rule]] unaware of the fact that it is aka [[Law of sines]] (I guess mainly in US high-schools). After I had written the article I discovered the name "Law of sines" and when I wanted to make a redirect I saw that "Law of sines" already existed. I didn't want to delete any of the two articles, so I put cross links in both. --[[User:Paul Wormer|Paul Wormer]] 08:06, 19 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
:PS. I don't mind when the two are merged, either under "Law of sines" or "Sine rule". Personally, I learned in school the sine and cosine rules (not laws). I now see that CZ calls the latter also "Law of cosines", odd, because there is only one cosine involved in this law. And is the term "law" not overdoing it for such a simple rule? Is this term common in Merkin ;-) high schools? --[[User:Paul Wormer|Paul Wormer]] 12:35, 19 October 2008 (UTC) | |||

Why do we have two pages, Sine rule and Law of sines? Please make a redirect of one to the other. David E. Volk 18:42, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
- My mistake. I wrote Sine rule unaware of the fact that it is aka Law of sines (I guess mainly in US high-schools). After I had written the article I discovered the name "Law of sines" and when I wanted to make a redirect I saw that "Law of sines" already existed. I didn't want to delete any of the two articles, so I put cross links in both. --Paul Wormer 08:06, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
