Step 3: Proving Theorem: Area  ab sin C
2

Refer to the above diagram:

a) Express h in terms of b and ∠ C. (2 marks)
Ans: In ΔADC,
2ab
sin∠ C =

∴ h=
1

b) Since the 2ab formula of calculating area of triangle with a given base length and

height is:
1
Area of triangle = × base length × height
2
Express the above formula in terms of a, b, and ∠ C. (2 marks)

Ans: 1
Area of triangle = x base length x height
2
1
= x a x 2ab
2
= a(square)b
