Question

Please help!!! Evaluate sin(x)
A. 2.125
B. 0.4706
C.0.8824
D.0.5333

Answer 1

Answer:

sin x = 0.4706

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Height, h = 8

Base, b = 15

Let H be the hypotenuse of the triangle. Using Pythagoras theorem,

$H=\sqrt{8^2+15^2} \\\\H=17$

We know that,

$\sin\theta=\dfrac{h}{H}$

So,

$\sinx=\dfrac{8}{17}\\\\\sin x=0.4706$

So, the correct option is (b).
