Option A is right

Answer= 5/13

Given a right triangle RST.

The triangle is right angled at R

The hypotenuse is 13 and legs are 5 and 12.

We have to find the value of sine of S

We know by definition sin of any angle = opposite side/hypotenuse

Hence sin S = opposite side/Hypotenuse.

S has opposite side as 5 and hypotenuse as 13.

So sin S = 5/13

Option A is right.
