Answer:

sin A = 3/5

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

sin theta = opp side/ hypotenuse

Answer:

A. sin

Explanation:

Hi there!


\sin\theta=\displaystyle(opposite)/(hypotenuse)


\cos\theta=\displaystyle(adjacent)/(hypotenuse)


\tan\theta=\displaystyle(opposite)/(adjacent)

Given the angle A, the opposite side would measure 3 units, the adjacent side would measure 4 units and the hypotenuse would measure 5 units.

If the ratio is
\displaystyle(3)/(5), it means it is a ratio between the opposite side and the hypotenuse. Therefore, it is using the sine ratio.


\sin A=\displaystyle(3)/(5)

I hope this helps!
