options: Derive the formula A = 1/2 ab sin(C) for the area of a triangle by drawing an auxiliary line from a vertex perpendicular to the opposite side.

Prove the Laws of Sines and Cosines and use them to solve problems.

Understand and apply the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines to find unknown measurements in right and non-right triangles (e.g., surveying problems, resultant forces).
problem_activity: Explain why
$${\frac{1}{2}ab\mathrm{sin}(C)}$$
gives the area of a triangle with sides
$$a$$
and
$$b$$
and included angle
$$C$$
.
