Two right triangles, △ABD and △ACD, were created from △ABC by constructing
AD ⊥ CB.
Follow these steps to prove that #&\frac {\sf sin(B)}{b} = \frac {\sf sin(C)}{c}#&.
✓ 1. For △ABD, sin(B) =
✓ 2. Multiply both sides of the equation by c and simplify.
The equation sin(B) = #&\frac {h}{c}#& becomes
.
✓ 3. For △ACD, sin(C) =
✓ 4. Multiply both sides of the equation by b and simplify.
The equation sin(C) = #&\frac {h}{b}#& becomes
.
✓ 5. By the
property, we can set the expressions equal to each other. c sin(B) = b sin(C)
✓ 6. Divide both sides of the equation by
and simplify to get #&\frac {\sf sin(B)}{b} = \frac {\sf sin(C)}{c}#&.
