The value of sin in the right-angled triangle is 17/14. The size of angle 0 can be found using the inverse sine function.

a) To find the value of sin, we can use the formula sin = opposite/hypotenuse. In the given right-angled triangle, the opposite side is 17 cm and the hypotenuse is 14 cm. So, sin = 17/14.

b) From part a, we found that sin = 17/14. To find the size of angle 0, we can use the inverse sine function, sin^(-1), which gives us the angle whose sine is a certain value. So, angle 0 = sin^(-1)(17/14).

The question probable may be:

What is the process for determining the value of angle θ in a right-angled triangle when the sine of θ is given as 17/14?
