Answer:

sinA = 0.79 tanA = 1.3

Explanation:

Step1:

Find the length of the line going through the middle from A to C by using pythagorean theorem.

a = 13

b = 12

c= ?

c = sqrt(a^2 + b^2)

c = sqrt(13^2 +12^2)

c = 17.69

Step 2:

Use pythagorean theorem again to find the length of the line going from A to D.

a = ?

b = 14

c = 17.69

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

Now solve for a.

a^2 = c^2 - b^2

a = sqrt(c^2 - b^2)

a = sqrt(17.69^2 - 14^2)

a = 10.81

Step 3:

Use trignometry to find the values of sinA and tanA

sinA = opposite/hypotenuse = 14/17.69 = 0.79

tanA = opposite/adjacent = 14/10.81 =1.3
