Question

Find sin angle ∠ C.
A. 12/13
B. 1
C. 13/12
D. 13/5

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the trigonometric ratios. Recall that sine is the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse:

$\displaystyle \sin(C)=\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$

The opposite side with respect to ∠C is 24 and the hypotenuse is 26.

Hence:

$\displaystyle \sin(C)=\frac{24}{26}=\frac{12}{13}$

Our answer is A.
