i have tried using the three area of triangle formulas but the derivation is beyond me thanks Answer by robertb(5830) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let A , B, and C be the interior angles of the triangle, and a, b, and c, their respective opposite sides.
Then the area of the triangle ABC is given by
.
Now from the sine law, ==> , and ==> . Then
.
But C = 180 - (A+B)==> sinC = sin(180-(A+B)) = sin(A+B), whence .
