The Law of Sines is an equation relating the sides of a triangle to the sines of its angles. This law is also known as Sine Law, Sine Formula or Sine Rule. According to Law of Sines:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

where a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides of the triangle, and A, B and C are the opposite angles. As shown in the figure below side a faces angle A, side b faces angle B and side c faces angle C.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The equation can also written using the reciprocal of the above equation:<\/p>\n
