You can use the law of sines: it states that in any triangle, the ratio between the length of a side and the sine of the opposite angle is constant:


(AB)/(\sin(C)) = (BC)/(\sin(A)) = (AC)/(\sin(B))

We only need one of these equalities. Since B is a right angle, we have
\sin(B)=1. So, since we want to solve the equality for
\sin(C), we focus on


(AB)/(\sin(C)) = (AC)/(\sin(B)) \iff (24)/(\sin(C)) = (26)/(1)

Solving for
\sin(C), we have


\sin(C) = (24)/(26) = (12)/(13)
