well I suppose but I prefer the triangle
tan T = 1/4
but we know
tan^2 T + 1 = sec^2 T
so
1/16 + 1 = 1/cos^2 T
17/16 = 1/cos^2 T
so
cos^2 T = 16/17
take the square root now
then for the sin
sin^2 T = 1 - 16/17 = 1/17
take the square root now
===========================
check
T = tan^-1 .25
T = 14.04 deg
then
sin T = .243
sin^2 T = .0588
and 1/17 = .0588 so it worked
