LAW Cl SlnL
1. uraw an alLlLude from verLex 8, and label
Lhe alLlLude k.
2. 1he alLlLude creaLes Lwo rlghL Lrlangles
lnslde Lrlangle A8C. now, uslng rlghL
Lrlangle LrlgonomeLry, wrlLe Lwo equaLlons,
one wlLh sln A, and one wlLh sln C.

sin A = sinC =


3. now, solve each equaLlons for k.





4. Slnce boLh equaLlons equal Lo k, we can seL Lhem equal Lo each oLher. SeL
Lhem equal Lo each oLher Lo form a new equaLlon.






3. llnally, uslng Lhe equaLlon you flnd ln quesLlon 4, regroup a wlLh sln A and c
wlLh sln C.

8. now, solve each equaLlons for k.





9. Slnce boLh equaLlons equal Lo k, we can seL Lhem equal Lo each oLher. SeL

10. llnally, uslng Lhe equaLlon you flnd ln quesLlon 4, regroup a wlLh sln A and b

11. uslng whaL you have found, deduce a Lhlrd equaLlon LhaL lnvolve b, c, sln 8,
and sln C.

Now, you have discovered the formula for Law of Sine!!!!!
