In a right triangle, the sine function goes by the pattern below:


\sin \theta=\frac{\text{opposite side}}{\text{hypotenuse}}

In the triangle, the side opposite Angle G is the side EF that has a length of √86 units. On the other hand, the hypotenuse is side GE which has a length of 11 units.

Plugging those values into the formula above, we get:


\sin G=(EF)/(EG)=\frac{\sqrt[]{86}}{11}

Simplifying the resulting fraction using a calculator, we get:


\sin G=0.84305\approx0.84

Therefore, the value of sin G is 0.84 approximately.
