Answer:


\sin(\theta)=(√(13))/(7)\approx0.5151

Explanation:

So we know that Θ is acute and that:


\cos(\theta)=6/7

First, note that since Θ is acute, it is between 0 and 90 degrees, meaning that all of our trig ratios will be positive since the angle is in the Quadrant I.

The Pythagorean Identity is:


\sin^2(\theta)+\cos^2(\theta)=1

We know that cosine is 6/7. Substitute:


\sin^2(\theta)+((6)/(7))^2=1

Square:


\sin^2(\theta)+(36)/(49)=1

Subtract both sides by 36/49. Change the 1 to 49/49 to make a common denominator:


\sin^2(\theta)=(49)/(49)-(36)/(49)

Subtract:


\sin^2(\theta)=(13)/(49)

Take the square root of both sides:


\sin(\theta)=\pm\sqrt{(13)/(49)}

Simplify:


\sin(\theta)=\pm(√(13))/(7)

As mentioned previously, since Θ is acute, all of the trig functions must be positive. So, we can ignore our negative answer:


\sin(\theta)=(√(13))/(7)\approx0.5151

and we're done!
