Answer 1

complete question:

For the triangle above, find sin A. a. 36° c. 0.9323 b. 50° d. 0.385

.

Answer:

d. 0.385

.

Explanation:

The picture is represented below.  Using SOHCAHTOA principle sin A can be gotten below .

The triangle is a right angle triangle . It has the adjacent side, hypotenuse and the opposite side.

Sin A = opposite / hypotenuse

opposite side = 10

hypotenuse = 26

Sin A = opposite / hypotenuse

sin A = 10/26

sin A = 0.3846153846

sin A ≈ 0.385
