Answer:

sin C = 3/5

Explanation:

see image.

It helps to draw a picture. Tan C is the ratio of the OPP/ADJ.

Pythagorean theorem or if you know Pythagorean triples are a shortcut to find the hypotenuse.

Once you know the hypotenuse, use the ratio for sine to solve the question. Sine is OPP/HYP.
