Question

In ΔQRS, the measure of ∠S=90°, QS = 11, SR = 60, and RQ = 61. What is the value of the sine of ∠Q to the nearest hundredth?

Answer 1

0.98

Explanation:

Below is a drawing of the triangle (drawing it out is an important step if you have trouble visualizing it).

Sine = opposite/hypotenuse, in this case, SR (60) is the opposite of angle Q and RQ (61) is the hypotenuse.

Sin(angle Q) = 60/61 = 0.98
