Answer: C) 4/8 = 0.5

=========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The sine ratio involves the opposite over hypotenuse.

With respect to reference angle J, the opposite leg is the one furthest from the angle. So the opposite side is KL = 4. The hypotenuse is always the longest side, always opposite the 90 degree angle, so LJ = 8 is the hypotenuse.

sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse

sin(J) = KL/LJ

sin(J) = 4/8

sin(J) = 0.5
