We have to find sin θ.

As we have a rigth triangle we can use trigonometric ratios to relate sides and angles.

The ratio that includes the sin of an angle is the one that has the opposite side in the numerator and the hypotenuse in the denominator.

Then, we can write:


\sin\theta=(Opposite)/(Hypotenuse)=(4√(13))/(17)

Answer: sin θ = 4√13 / 17
