Question

In ΔHIJ, the measure of ∠J = 90°, IH = 97, HJ = 65, and JI = 72. What ratio represents the sine of ∠H?

a. 72/97
b. 65/97
c. 72/65
d. 97/72

Answer 1

The ratio representing the sine of angle H in triangle HIJ is 65/97.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the sine of angle H in triangle HIJ, we need to use the ratio of the length of the side opposite angle H to the length of the hypotenuse. In this case, the side opposite angle H is HJ and the hypotenuse is IH. So, the sine of angle H is HJ/IH.

Using the given measurements, the ratio representing the sine of angle H is 65/97.
