Question

Find sin angle ∠ C.
A. 12/13
B. 1
C. 13/12
D. 13/5

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

We can use the trigonometric ratios. Recall that sine is the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse:

`\displaystyle \sin(C)=\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}`

The opposite side with respect to ∠C is 24 and the hypotenuse is 26.

Hence:

`\displaystyle \sin(C)=(24)/(26)=(12)/(13)`

Our answer is A.
