The trigonometry expression for sin i in its simplest term is
sin \ i = (√(62))/(8)

Trigonometric ratios

In mathematics, trigonometric ratios are relationships in between the angles and the sides of a right-angled triangle. In a right-angled triangle, an angle is 90 degrees, and the other two angles shares 90 degrees, to complete the 180 degrees in a triangle. Also, there are three sides in a triangle; the hypotenuse, the opposite, and the adjacent.

From the given triangle, let's first find the hypotenuse using Pythagoras rule;

hyp² = opp² + adj²

hyp² = √(2)² + √(62)²

hyp² = 2 + 62

hyp² = 64

hyp = √64

hyp = 8

The trigonometry ratio for sin θ = opposite/hypotenuse. Therefore;


sin \ i = (√(62))/(8)
