Which equation is correct?

triangle ACB, angle C is a right angle, angle B measures g degrees, angle A measures h degrees, segment AC measures x, segment CB measures y, and segment AB measures z

sin g° = z ÷ x
sin g° = x ÷ z
tan g° = z ÷ x
tan g° = x ÷ z

Answer:

sin g° = x ÷ z

Explanation:

Given a right angled triangle with the following dimension

Triangle ACB, angle C is a right angle, angle B measures g degrees, angle A measures h degrees, segment AC measures x, segment CB measures y, and segment AB measures z.

Find the diagram in the attachment.

Using the SOH, CAH, TOA identity

When considering angle g°, the opposite side of the triangle will be the side facing the angle g° i.e x

Hypotenuse is the longest side |AB| = z

according to SOH,

Sin g° = Opposite/Hypotenuse

Sin g° = |AC|/|AB|

Sin g° = x/z

Therefore sin g° = x ÷ z is correct
