Question

proving the law of sines. two right tri constructed. c sin(b) = h. follow these. h sin(b) = h. 2. multiply both sides of the equation by c and simplify. the equation becomes.

Explanation:

Step1: Given equation

We are given \(c\sin(B)=h\).

Step2: Multiply both sides by \(c\)

Starting with \(c\sin(B) = h\), when we multiply both sides by \(c\), we get \(c\times c\sin(B)=c\times h\), which simplifies to \(c^{2}\sin(B)=ch\). But if we assume there is a mistake in the description and we are supposed to work with the correct - form of the law - of - sines derivation steps. Starting from \(c\sin(B)=h\) and if we want to get to a form related to the law of sines. We know that in a triangle, if we consider another relationship \(a\sin(C) = h\) (by constructing a different altitude). Since \(c\sin(B)=a\sin(C)\), we can rewrite it in the form of the law of sines \(\frac{\sin(B)}{b}=\frac{\sin(C)}{c}\) (using the fact that area of triangle \(S=\frac{1}{2}ac\sin(B)=\frac{1}{2}bc\sin(A)=\frac{1}{2}ab\sin(C)\)). But just focusing on the step of multiplying \(c\sin(B) = h\) by \(c\) as asked in the problem, if we assume we want to isolate some terms for further manipulation in the law - of - sines proof. If we start from \(c\sin(B)=h\) and multiply both sides by \(\frac{1}{\sin(B)}\) (assuming \(\sin(B)
eq0\)), we get \(c = \frac{h}{\sin(B)}\). If we multiply the original equation \(c\sin(B)=h\) by \(c\) and rewrite in terms of ratios for the law of sines, we know that from \(c\sin(B)=h\) and considering another altitude \(a\sin(C)=h\), we can show \(\frac{\sin(B)}{b}=\frac{\sin(C)}{c}\). If we just follow the instruction of multiplying \(c\sin(B)=h\) by \(c\) and simplify, we have \(c^{2}\sin(B)=ch\). However, if we start from the correct steps of law - of - sines proof and want to get a more standard form. Starting from \(c\sin(B)=h\) and \(a\sin(C)=h\), we can cross - multiply to get \(c\sin(B)=a\sin(C)\) or \(\frac{\sin(B)}{a}=\frac{\sin(C)}{c}\).
If we assume we are just doing a simple algebraic manipulation of the given \(c\sin(B)=h\) and multiply by \(c\), we get \(c^{2}\sin(B)=ch\). But if we consider the law of sines context and start from \(c\sin(B)=h\) and want to get to the ratio form, we know that in \(\triangle ABC\) with altitude \(h\) from \(A\) to \(BC\), we have \(c\sin(B)=a\sin(C)\) (by considering two different right - triangles formed within \(\triangle ABC\)).
Let's assume we want to get to the form \(\frac{\sin(B)}{b}=\frac{\sin(C)}{c}\). Starting from \(c\sin(B)=h\) and \(a\sin(C)=h\), we know that area of triangle \(S = \frac{1}{2}ac\sin(B)=\frac{1}{2}bc\sin(A)=\frac{1}{2}ab\sin(C)\). From \(c\sin(B)=h\) and \(a\sin(C)=h\), we can show \(\frac{\sin(B)}{a}=\frac{\sin(C)}{c}\).
If we just follow the multiplication step as asked:
Starting with \(c\sin(B)=h\), multiplying both sides by \(c\) gives \(c^{2}\sin(B)=ch\). But a more relevant step in law - of - sines proof is:
We know that in \(\triangle ABC\), if we consider the altitude \(h\) from \(A\) to \(BC\), we have \(c\sin(B)=a\sin(C)\) (by using right - triangle trigonometry in the two right - triangles formed).
If we start from \(c\sin(B)=h\) and want to get to the law of sines form \(\frac{\sin(B)}{b}=\frac{\sin(C)}{c}\), we use the fact that area of triangle \(S=\frac{1}{2}ac\sin(B)=\frac{1}{2}bc\sin(A)=\frac{1}{2}ab\sin(C)\).
The correct step starting from \(c\sin(B)=h\) and relating to law of sines:
We know that in \(\triangle ABC\), if we consider the right - triangles formed by the altitude from \(A\) to \(BC\), we have \(c\sin(B)=a\sin(C)\) (by right - triangle trigonometry). Cross - multiplying gives \(\frac{\sin(B)}{a}=\frac{\sin(C)}{c}\).

Answer:

\(c\sin(B)=a\sin(C)\) (derived from the fact that the altitude \(h\) can be expressed as \(h = c\sin(B)\) and \(h=a\sin(C)\) in the right - triangles formed within \(\triangle ABC\) for the law of sines proof)
