co B A ao bo C Finding The Sine Rule. Consider the triangle below: H Add the altitude line as shown. H is the height of the triangle. Now write the sine ratio for each right angled triangle: H = A sin bo H = B sin ao Look at these two results and try to work out the next line:
co B A H = A sin bo H = B sin ao ao bo C A sin bo = B sin ao Now divide both sides by sin bo and sin ao . By changing the letters around we can prove that: The Sine Rule.
