I have to prove that [itex]a/\sin\alpha =b/\sin\beta[/itex]. A triangle has sides "a", "b", "c" and angles [itex]\alpha[/itex] and [itex]\beta[/itex] (opposite of the sides "a" and "b" respectively).
This is what I did:
Draw a line "h" as the height of the triangle on the side "c".
[tex]\sin\alpha = h/b[/tex]. Multiplying by "b" gives [tex]b\sin\alpha = h[/tex]
[tex]\sin\beta = h/a[/tex]. Multiplying by "a" gives [tex]a\sin\beta = h[/tex]
From this we see that [tex]b\sin\alpha = a\sin\beta[/tex] and from this
[tex]\frac{a}{\sin\alpha}=\frac{b}{\sin\beta}[/tex].
Correct?
