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

Please help me! The i is an imaginary number<br><br> (9+4i)^2
beks73 [17]
Answer: 2500

Explanation: I turned the I into a 1 and it turned into a 41 so I added 9+41 which is 50. Then I multiplied 50 by 50 because of the ^2 which gave me 2500. I’m assuming that you can put whatever number as a replacement for the I. I’m sorry if this answer isn’t right.

Find the sample variance for the data 9,12,9,14,6. Round the answer to one decimal place. Sample variance
Feliz [49]

Answer:

9.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the sample variance for the data 9,12,9,14,6. Round the answer to one decimal place. Sample variance.

Step 1

We find the Mean of the numbers

Mean = Sum of terms/ Number of terms

Mean = 9+12+9+14+6/5

= 50/5

= 10

Step 2

We find the sample variance

Formula =

(x - Mean)²/n - 1

n = 5

= (9 - 10)²+(12 -10)²+(9- 10)²+(14-10)²+(6-10)²/5 - 1

= 1+ 4+ 1+ 16+16/5 - 1

= 38/5 - 1

= 38/4

= 9.5

Therefore, Sample variance = 9.5
