Given a right angle triangle:

As shown:


\begin{gathered} SU=\sqrt[]{57} \\ ST=4 \\ TU=\sqrt[]{41} \end{gathered}

We will find sin S


\sin S=(opposite)/(hypotenuse)=(TU)/(SU)

Substitute with TU and SU

So,


\begin{gathered} \sin S=\frac{\sqrt[]{41}}{\sqrt[]{57}}*\frac{\sqrt[]{57}}{\sqrt[]{57}}=\frac{\sqrt[]{2337}}{57} \\ \\ \sin S=\frac{\sqrt[]{2337}}{57} \end{gathered}
