What’s the Sine Rule Ratio?
A triangle is shown divided into two regions by a straight line, resulting in the triangle being split into a smaller triangle and a cyclic quadrilateral. A task is set to determine the ratio of an angle and an opposite side. In each of the numerical examples given the answer to 6 significant figures is 14.
The task now is to show how it was possible to create different examples each with an answer of 14. The solution involves using a combination of the sine rule, the cosine rule, and properties of cyclic quadrilaterals.
