Proof of Law of Sine



The Law of Sine


The Law of Sine states that given any triangle with side lengths a, b and c and opposing angles A, B and C



First we'll divide the triangle into two right triangles by drawing the line that passes through A and is perpendicular to 

From the definition of sine ;



or 


Since both are equal to h ; we can say that :


Now dividing by sinB and sinC , gives us ;



Hence Proved ! 







Now you give it a try it for other sides and ratios to further prove !
