Using Pythagorean theorem FH is equal to √70(radical) therefore sine of G would be equal to sin^-1(√70/√85)=65.16010754 rounded to the hundredths place is 65.16

Answer:


sin(G)=0.91

Explanation:

Recall that
sin(\theta)=(opposite)/(hypotenuse) with respect to the angle
\theta for a right triangle. Since we are given our hypotenuse of
√(85) and our adjacent side of
√(15), we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the missing opposite side:


a^2+b^2=c^2\\\\(opposite)^2+(adjacent)^2=(hypotenuse)^2\\\\(opposite)^2+(√(15))^2=(√(85))^2\\\\(opposite)^2+15=85\\\\(opposite)^2=70\\\\opposite=√(70)

Thus,
sin(G)=(√(70))/(√(85))\approx0.91
