Complete the key step in the Law of Sines proof. In triangle ABCABC, altitude hh from CC gives h=bsin⁡Ah = b \sin A and h=asin⁡Bh = a \sin B. Setting them equal: bsin⁡A=asin⁡Bb \sin A = a \sin B. After dividing both sides by sin⁡A⋅sin⁡B\sin A \cdot \sin B, the result is:   ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲   =   ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲
