Answer:

(a) sin⁻¹(√35/14)

Explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relations between sides and angles in a right triangle. Here, the given sides AB and AC are the side opposite angle C, and the hypotenuse (opposite right angle B). That means the relevant relation is ...

Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

sin(C) = AB/AC

__

For this problem, substituting values gives ...

sin(C) = (3√5)/(6√7) = (1/2)√(5/7) = (1/2)(√35)/7 = (√35)/14

C = arcsin((√35)/14)

_____

Additional comment

Choice B can be eliminated on the grounds that the fraction is not reduced to lowest terms. Choices C and D are eliminated because they assume a cosine relation is involved. That is, you can choose the correct answer based on SOH CAH TOA without concerning yourself with the details of the radical expression.
