options (to be moved to the table):
\\(\sin a\\), \\(\sin b\\), \\(a\sin a\\), \\(a\sin b\\), \\(b\sin a\\), \\(b\sin b\\), \\(\frac{\sin a}{a}\\), \\(\frac{\sin a}{b}\\), \\(\frac{\sin b}{a}\\), \\(\frac{\sin b}{b}\\)
Step1: Define sine for angles
$\sin A = \frac{h}{a}$; $\sin B = \frac{h}{b}$
Step2: Isolate h via multiplication
$h = a\sin A$; $h = b\sin B$
Step3: Set h expressions equal
$a\sin A = b\sin B$
Step4: Divide to get Law of Sines
$\frac{\sin A}{a} = \frac{\sin B}{b}$
