Question

What is the value of sinC ?

Answer 1

Answer:

$sin \:C =\frac{8}{17}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right triangle, the sine of an angle is the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the hypotenuse.

$sin \:x =\frac{O}{H}$

From the formula above we know that the sine of an angle is the opposite side divided by the hypotenuse. The opposite side is AB and has a length of 8. The hypotenuse is AC with a length of 17. So we can write

$sin \:C =\frac{8}{17}$

Answer 2

SinC=(8/17)
solve for C = arcsin(8/17)
