Answer: option A is the correct answer

Explanation:

The given triangle is a right angle triangle. This is because one of the angles is 90 degrees. The sum of the other two angles is 90 degrees. To determine sin C, we will apply trigonometric ratio

From the dimensions given and taking C as the reference angle,

Hypotenuse = AC = 17

Adjacent side = BC = 15

Opposite side = AB = 8

Sin# = opposite side / hypotenuse

Since # = C

SinC = 8/17

The value of angle C can be derived by finding Sin^-1(8/17)
