Prove: Area = 1/2absin C


Given Triangle ABC With Side Lengths A B And C And Height H Prove Area 12absin C class=

Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

                    Statements                                        Reasons

1). ΔABC with side lengths a, b, c, and h      1). Given

2). Area = [tex]\frac{1}{2}bh[/tex]                                                 2). Triangle area formula

3). [tex]\text{sin}C=\frac{h}{a}[/tex]                                                    3). Definition of sine

4). asin(C) = h                                                4). Multiplication property of

                                                                          equality.

5). Area = [tex]\frac{1}{2}ba\text{sin}C[/tex]                                         5). Substitution property

6). Area = [tex]\frac{1}{2}ab\text{sin}C[/tex]                                         6). Commutative property of

                                                                           multiplication.

Hence, proved.
