Proof of sine formula
 
Rewrite the cosine formula (1) as
cos a = cos b cos c + sin b sin c cos A........ (1)
sin b sin c cos A = cos a − cos b cos c.
Squaring, we obtain

Now

Hence,
  (2)
But the right-hand side of equation (2) is a symmetrical function of a, b and c so that we can write:

Dividing throughout by sin² a sin² b sin² c we obtain

Taking the square root and remembering that in a spherical triangle all sides and angles are less than 180^◦ in value, we obtain
