Question

Which ratio represents sin P in the above diagram? 4/5 3/4 3/5 5/3

Answer 1

3/5

Explanation:

Since we are told to find the ratio of sin P, applying the acronym, SOHCAHTOA, we know that SOH stands for sin θ = opposite/hypotenuse

To find the ratio of sin P, identity the opposites side and the hypotenuse.

Opposite side = 6

Hypotenuse = 10

Thus:

Sin P = opp/hyp = 6/10

Simplify

Sin P = 3/5
