Question

In ΔSTU, the measure of ∠U=90°, TS = 73, SU = 55, and UT = 48. What ratio represents the sine of ∠S?

Answer 1

73/48

Explanation:

he put it backwards

Answer 2

sin S =
`$(48)/(73)` is the ratio found.

Explanation:

It is given that m∠U = 90°

TS is the hypotenuse = 73 units

UT is the adjacent side of the right angle = 48 units

SU is the base of the triangle = 55 units

Now we have to find the ratio as,

sin S =
`$(opp)/(hyp)`

sin S =
`$(UT)/(TS)`

Plugin the values, we will get,

sin S =
`$(48)/(73)`

So the ratio was found.
