Proof of the Law of Sines

The Law of Sines states that for any triangle ABC, with sides a,b,c (see below)

a

 sin  A

=

b

 sin  B

=

c

 sin  C

For more see Law of Sines.

Acute triangles

Draw the altitude h from the vertex A of the triangle

From the definition of the sine function

 sin  B =

h

c

    a n d        sin  C =

h

b

or

h = c  sin  B     a n d       h = b  sin  C

Since they are both equal to h

c  sin  B = b  sin  C

Dividing through by sinB and then sinC

c

 sin  C

=

b

 sin  B

Repeat the above, this time with the altitude drawn from point B

Using a similar method it can be shown that in this case

c

 sin  C

=

a

 sin  A

Combining (4) and (5) :

a

 sin  A

=

b

 sin  B

=

c

 sin  C

- Q.E.D

Obtuse Triangles

The proof above requires that we draw two altitudes of the triangle. In the case of obtuse triangles, two of the altitudes are outside the triangle, so we need a slightly different proof. It uses one interior altitude as above, but also one exterior altitude.

First the interior altitude. This is the same as the proof for acute triangles above.

Draw the altitude h from the vertex A of the triangle

 sin  B =

h

c

      a n d          sin  C =

h

b

or

h = c  sin  B       a n d         h = b  sin  C

Since they are both equal to h

c  sin  B = b  sin  C

Dividing through by sinB and then sinC

c

 sin  C

=

b

 sin  B

Draw the second altitude h from B. This requires extending the side b:

The angles BAC and BAK are supplementary, so the sine of both are the same.

(see Supplementary angles trig identities)

Angle A is BAC, so

 sin  A =

h

c

or

h = c  sin  A

In the larger triangle CBK

 sin  C =

h

a

or

h = a  sin  C

From (6) and (7) since they are both equal to h

c  sin  A = a  sin  C

Dividing through by sinA then sinC:

a

 sin  A

=

c

 sin  C

Combining (4) and (9):

a

 sin  A

=

b

 sin  B

=

c

 sin  C

ill decides to move her fish from a 20 gallon aquarium to a 50 gallon aquarium. She added 3 tablespoons of salt to her old aquar
klemol [59]

In the old aquarium, 3 tablespoons of salt were used for 20 gallons. That's a conversion ratio of

\dfrac{3\,\rm tbsp}{20\,\rm{gal}}=0.15\,\dfrac{\rm tbsp}{\rm gal}

That is, for every gallon of water in the aquarium, there was 0.15 tbsp of salt. So a 50 gallon aquarium, Ill should add

(50\,\rm{gal})\left(0.15\,\dfrac{\rm tbsp}{\rm gal}\right)=7.5\,\rm{tbsp}

to maintain the salinity.

What is the inverse of the function f(x) = x + 2?
wolverine [178]
Turn f(x) into y so the equation is y=x+2. Now switch their places so it is x=y+2. Now solve for y. The answer is y=x-2.

The total surface area of a cube is 600
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area is the sum of the areas of all faces (or surfaces) on a 3D shape. A cuboid has 6 rectangular faces. To find the surface area of a cuboid, add the areas of all 6 faces.

600 / 6 = 100

10 x 10 = 100
