Question

Can someone please help me out I’m so lost !!!!!!!

Answer 1

Hello!

Let's quickly review our trigonometric ratios.

Sin= Opposite/Hypotenuse

Cos= Adjacent/Hypotenuse

Tan= Opposite/ Adjacent

Let's find these for angle G.

Opposite:15

Adjacent: 8

Hypotenuse: 17

First of all, we have sin G= 8/15. The adjacent side is 8, which is not the opposite or hypotenuse, so A is incorrect.

We have cos G= 8/15. That is the adjacent divided by the opposite, not adjacent over hypotenuse, so B is incorrect.

Finally, we have sin G= 15/17. This is the opposite divided by the hypotenuse, so it is correct.

Therefore, our answer is $\boxed {C) sin G=\frac{15}{17}}$.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

sin G=15/17 is the answer.

sin is opp over hyp so 15/17.
