From the given image,


\cos(\theta)=(9)/(41)

Recall the trigonometric identity:


\sin^2((\theta)/(2))=(1-\cos(\theta))/(2)

Substitute cos (θ) = 9/41 into the equation:


\sin^2((\theta)/(2))=(1-(9)/(41))/(2)=(41-9)/(82)=(32)/(82)=(16)/(41)

Therefore,


\sin((\theta)/(2))=\sqrt{(16)/(41)}=(4√(41))/(41)

Therefore, the required answer is:

sin(θ/2) = (4√41)/41
