Answer:

Sin E=0.50

Explanation:

Here we are given that DE || AB, and DB and AE are traverse lines to them meeting at point F.

By the properties of parallel lines intersected by a transverse we know that the alternate interior angles are equal.

If we extend DE and AE on both sides , we can see that A and E are equal as they forms alternate interior angles.

Hence

A=E

Sin A = Sin E

0.50=Sin E
