The answer for the given question above is FALSE. The sine of an angle in a right triangle is equal to the ratio of the length of the side OPPOSITE to the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse. I hope this answer helps.

Answer: The given statement is FALSE.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to check whether he following statement is true or false :

"The sine of an angle in a right triangle is equal to the ratio of the length of the side adjacent to the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse. "

Let us consider the right-angled triangle ABC as shown in the attached figure below.

With respect to acute angle C, we can see that

perpendicular, p = AB

base, b = BC

and

hypotenuse, h = AC.

We know that

sine of an angle in a right-angled triangle is equal to the ratio of the perpendicular to the base.

So, we must have

$\sin \angle C=\dfrac{p}{h}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \sin \angle C=\dfrac{AB}{AC}.$

Since AB is the opposite side to angle C, not adjacent, therefore

sine of any angle in a right-angled triangle is the ratio of the length of the OPPOSITE SIDE to length of the hypotenuse.

Thus, the given statement is FALSE.

Daniel [21]

These techniques for elimination are preferred for 3rd order systems and higher. They use "Row-Reduction" techniques/pivoting and many subtle math tricks to reduce a matrix to either a solvable form or perhaps provide an inverse of a matrix (A-1)of linear equation AX=b. Solving systems of linear equations (n>2) by elimination is a topic unto itself and is the preferred method. As the system of equations increases, the "condition" of a matrix becomes extremely important. Some of this may sound completely alien to you. Don't worry about these topics until Linear Algebra when systems of linear equations (Rank 'n') become larger than 2.
