3.3 Law Of Sines

In triangle ABC, seg is the altitude in each fig.

\ D ADC and D BCD are right triangles. Thus

sin A = \ h = b sin A in fig.23A

sin ( p - B) = sin B = \ h = a sin B.

In follows that from fig.23.B

\ b sin A = h = a sin B


The Law Of Tangent


These results are also known as "Napier's Analogy."
