Answer:

Explanation:

Soh Cah Toa

S stand for sine, C stand for Cosine and the T stand for Tangent

'o' is the opposite, 'a' stand for adjacent (next to) and h stand for hypotenuse (the longest length of the triangle)


sin(\theta)=(opposite)/(hypotenuse)


cos(\theta)=(adjacent)/(hypotenuse)


tan(\theta)=(opposite)/(adjacent)

We care about angle A and we want sine. So we will use the first equation.

The opposite from A is 3 and the hypotenuse is 5.


sin(A)=(3)/(5)
