Question

If c = 17 in. and b = 15 in., find the value of sin 0. Write your answer as a fraction. You do
not need to simplify.

Answer 1

if c = 17 and b = 15 then a=8
so sinθ is either 8/17 or 15/17, depending on whether θ is opposite a or b.

Answer 2

Based on the information given, we do not have enough information to determine the value of sin 0. In order to find the value of sin 0, we need the length of either the opposite side or the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Answer 3

You are correct. My apologies for the incorrect response. Given that a = 8, we can use the sine ratio to determine the value of sin θ.

Since sin θ = opposite/hypotenuse, we can use the values of a and c to find the value of sin θ.

sin θ = 8/17

So, the value of sin θ, in fraction form, is 8/17.
