Question

Please help!!! Evaluate sin(x)
A. 2.125
B. 0.4706
C.0.8824
D.0.5333

Answer 1

sin x = 0.4706

Explanation:

Given that,

Height, h = 8

Base, b = 15

Let H be the hypotenuse of the triangle. Using Pythagoras theorem,

`H=√(8^2+15^2) \\\\H=17`

We know that,

`\sin\theta=(h)/(H)`

So,

`\sinx=(8)/(17)\\\\\sin x=0.4706`

So, the correct option is (b).
