1. Given the triangle below, what is the value of sin 8 ? 12 6 ก 65
2 answers:
Answer:
(2/5)√5
Step-by-step explanation:
from the sine rule (see attached for reference), we can construct the following relationship
12/sinθ = (6√5) / sin 90°
recall that sin 90° = 1, hence our equation becomes:
12/sinθ = (6√5) / 1
12/sinθ = (6√5) (rearranging)
12 ÷ (6√5) = sin θ
sin θ = 12 / (6√5)
sin θ = 2 / √5 (moving radical to numerator by multiplying by √5/√5)
= 2 / √5 x √5/√5
= 2√5 / 5
= (2/5)√5
