Answer 1

Statement Problem: Given triangle ACZ and triangle CBZ are right triangles. What is the missing step in the prove;

`(\sin(A))/(a)=(\sin (B))/(b)`

Solution:

Step 1: Given that triangle ABZ and triangle CBZ are right angles as shown in the diagram.

Step 2:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Recall that from trigonometry ratio for sine;} \\ \sin \theta=(opposite)/(hypotenuse) \\ \end{gathered}`

Hence, the missing statement is;

`\sin (A)=(h)/(b),\sin (B)=(h)/(a)`

Reason:

The trigonometry ratio for sine
