To answer this question, we need to use the inverse function of sin, that is, arcsin or sin^-1 to find the value of the angle for which sin(theta) = 4/9. Then, we have:


\sin (\theta)=(4)/(9)\Rightarrow\arcsin (\sin (\theta))=\arcsin ((4)/(9))

Then, we have:


\theta=\arcsin ((4)/(9))\Rightarrow\theta=0.460553991681

This angle is in radians. Now, we need to find the value for sin (pi - theta) as follows:


\sin (\pi-0.460553991681)=0.44444444444\ldots

Now, we know this periodical decimal expression is equal to:


undefined
