Answer:

sine B = 8/17

Explanation:

Mathematically, the sine of an angle is the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse side

The opposite side is the side that faces the angle

From what we have, the opposite side is of measure x

The hypotenuse is the side that faces the right angle

The hypotenuse here is z

So we have the value of sine B as x/z

This would give;

sine B = 8/17
