Answer:

The ratio equivalent to the sin of ∠A will be:

sin ∠A = BC / AB

Hence, option 3) is correct.

Explanation:

We know that some of the trigonometric ratios such as

  • sin Ф = Opposite / Hypotenuse
  • cos Ф = Adjacent / Hypotenuse
  • tan Ф = Opposite / Adjacent

In our case

Ф = ∠A

As we have to determine the ratio equivalent to the sin of ∠A

so

sin Ф = Opposite / Hypotenuse

Here:

Ф = ∠A

Opposite of ∠A = BC

Hypotenuse = AB

Thus,

substituting Ф = ∠A, Opposite = BC, Hypotenuse = AB

sin Ф = Opposite / Hypotenuse

sin ∠A = BC / AB

Therefore, the ratio equivalent to the sin of ∠A will be:

sin ∠A = BC / AB

Hence, option 3) is correct.
