Answer:

1. 0.9925 (4 d.p.)

2. 17°

3. 67°

Explanation:

Question 2

⇒ sin 83° = 0.9925461516...

⇒ sin 83° = 0.9925 (4 d.p.)

Question 3


\sf \implies \sin X=0.2923


\sf \implies X=\sin^(-1)(0.2923)


\implies \sf X=16.99570395...^(\circ)


\implies \sf X=17^(\circ)\:\:(nearest\:degree)

Question 4

Sine Ratio


\sf \sin(\theta)=(O)/(H)

where:


  • \theta is the angle
  • O is the side opposite the angle
  • H is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle)

From inspection of the triangle:


  • \theta = W
  • O = OS = 24
  • H = OW = 26

Substitute the values into the formula and solve for W:


\implies \sf \sin(W)=(24)/(26)


\implies \sf W= \sin^(-1)\left((24)/(26)\right)


\implies \sf W=67.38013505...^(\circ)


\implies \sf W=67^(\circ)\:\:(nearest\:degree)
