To find the value of angle \( A \) using the Law of Sines, we need to set up a proportion that compares the sine of angle \( A \) to the sine of another angle, using their corresponding side lengths.
The Law of Sines states that:
\[
\frac{\sin A}{a} = \frac{\sin B}{b} = \frac{\sin C}{c}
\]
where \( A, B, C \) are the angles of a triangle and \( a, b, c \) are the sides opposite those angles, respectively.
In the options provided, the correctness depends on clarity regarding which sides correspond to which angles. However, we can analyze the options.
1. **Option 1**: \( \frac{\sin A}{15} = \frac{\sin 85^\circ}{10} \)
2. **Option 2**: \( \frac{\sin A}{15} = \frac{\sin 85^\circ}{40} \)
3. **Option 3**: \( \frac{\sin A}{10} = \frac{\sin 85^\circ}{15} \)
4. **Option 4**: \( \frac{\sin A}{15} = \frac{\sin 40^\circ}{10} \)
To find which ratio can help solve for \( A \), pay attention to the angles and sides:
- The ratios must have corresponding sides and angles.
**Using the given responses**:
- If angle \( A \) is opposite side length 15, the correct choice must have \( \sin A \) on the numerator and a proportion involving another angle with its respective known side.
**Correct option identification**:
To find \( A \), the correct ratio involves \( \sin(85^\circ) \) which has known corresponding side lengths.
Among the given options, the first option \( \frac{\sin A}{15} = \frac{\sin 85^\circ}{10} \) seems to be the most appropriate, as it commensurates a larger angle (with side length 10) with angle \( A \) (with side length 15).
Therefore, the best answer is:
**\( \frac{\sin A}{15} = \frac{\sin 85^\circ}{10} \)** (Option 1).
