Answer:


\large\boxed{\sf sin(A)=0.5}

Explanation:

A right angled triangle is given to us and we would like to find out the value of sin(A) .

From the triangle we can see that the measure of angle BAC is 30° . Therefore ,


\longrightarrow A = 30^o

On using sin both sides ,


\longrightarrow sin(A) = sin30^o

As we know that the value of sin30° = 1/2. So;


\longrightarrow sin(A)=(1)/(2)

Simplify by converting it into decimal ,


\longrightarrow \underline{\underline{sin(A) = 0.5}}

Hence option B is correct .

And we are done!
