Answer:
sin theta = -2 sqrt(14)/15
Step-by-step explanation:
cos theta = adj / hyp
We can find the opp side by using the Pythagorean theorem
adj ^2 + opp ^2 = hyp^2
(-13)^2 + opp ^2 = 15^2
169 + opp ^2 = 225
opp ^2 = 225 -169
opp ^2 =56
Taking the square root of each side
sqrt( opp^2) = sqrt(56)
opp = sqrt(4 * 14)
opp = 2 sqrt(14)
Since we are in the third quadrant opp is negative
opp = -2 sqrt(14)
We know
sin theta = opp / hyp
sin theta = -2 sqrt(14)/15
