Sine of a Sum I (visual proof; trigonometry)

Published 2022-03-08
This is a short, animated visual proof of the sum formula for the sine function using the Side-Angle-Side triangle area formula. This theorem relates the sine of a sum to the sum of products of sines and cosines. #mathshorts #mathvideo #math #trigonometry #sine #sinofsum #triangle #manim #animation #theorem #pww #proofwithoutwords #visualproof #proof #circle #sideangleside #trianglearea

This animation is based on a proof due to Christopher Brueningsen from the April 1993 issue of Mathematics Magazine (doi.org/10.2307/2691126) page 135.

  • Love from india sir ❤, I have only found your video on youtube regarding my Problems sir great respect from the bottom of my heart Edit-I am in class 10th sir
  • @MATHSTATION
    Very nice. Which software do you use for making such kind of amazing animation?
  • among all the proofs the one is the easiest to memorize, thank you
  • @adw1z
    This is great, such a simple way of deriving this! I was wondering how we get to cos(a+b) using a similar method, but we could just take a -> pi/2 - a and b -> -b in the sin(a+b) formula. I wonder how this would look visually
  • @hantinvu3746
    very smart ❤ i don't know the simplest way but using Euler's formula and imaginary number <333 thanks so much
  • @DeepakGS
    Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • @yashrawat9409
    Nice prove , although it would do some weird things when considering over whole Real Domain (0,PI/2) is the best
  • @user-tf1jc2ee1y
    I'm very new to learning this concept, so I maybe missed something, but doesn't this proof mean that sin (a+b) also could equal = sin(a)cos(a)+cos(b)sin(b) (which it doesn't). Why is the y value put on the opposite trangle? What am I missing? Thanks for answer.
  • You miss a lot of steps. I wonder how many people can fill in these steps
  • @KenshinMutaito
    something is missing, ,the first formula to derivate the others so it's uncomplety. but welld one.
