1 of 3

Let ABCABC be a triangle with sides a,ba,b and cc opposite to its angles at its vertices A,BA, B and CC, respectively. Then the Sine Law states that the three ratios of the length of a side to the sine of the angle opposite it are equal. Mathematically this is written as:

asinA=bsinB=csinC\dfrac{a}{\sin A}=\dfrac{b}{\sin B}=\dfrac{c}{\sin C}
