Proof Of The Sine Rule

Here is a triangle with sides A, B and C and angles a, b and c:

Lets call the height h1 when using B as the base:

We can write h1 in two ways:

From this we know:

Now lets say that h2 is the height of the triangle when using C as the base:

We can write h2 in two ways:

From this we know:

Now we have the sine rule:
