Answer:

  • blue: 0.763
  • orange: 0.767
  • green: 0.770

Explanation:

You want to fill in a table of opposite side and hypotenuse from values given in the figure, then compute the ratio opposite/hypotenuse.

Table

The table values for "opposite" and "hypotenuse" are copied from the figure, so those are correct as shown in the problem statement.

The ratios can be expressed to 3 significant figures, since the dimensions are given to that precision. A calculator nicely provides those values.

The opposite/hypotenuse ratios are ...

  • blue: 0.763
  • orange: 0.767
  • green: 0.770

__

Additional comment

If this were a well-designed problem, the ratios would be identical to sin(50°) ≈ 0.766.
