Answer: 2/sqrt6

Explanation:

tan theta=perpendicular/base so

cot theta =base /perependicular=sqrt2/2

while sin theta=perpendicular/hypotenous=2/x

here x is unkown to find it we will use pythagoras theorem

(hypoteneous)^2=(Base)^2+(perependicular)^2

=(sqrt 2)^2+(2)^2

=2+4

(hypoteneous)^2=6

hypotenous =sqrt6

so

sin theta=2/sqrt6
