At the point/angle E:
- the adjacent side(side <u>next to</u> the point/angle) is ED
- the opposite side(side of the triangle <u>across</u> from the point/angle) is DF
- the hypotenuse (the<u> longest side</u> of the triangle) is EF.
sin ∠E =
sin ∠E = (simplified)
Not sure why such an old question is showing up on my feed...
Anyway, let
and 
. Then we want to find the exact value of 
.
Use the angle difference identity:
and right away we find
. By the Pythagorean theorem, we also find 
. (Actually, this could potentially be negative, but let's assume all angles are in the first quadrant for convenience.)
Meanwhile, if
, then (by Pythagorean theorem) 
, so 
. And from this, 
.
So,
