You probably mean a triangle with side lengths 8, 15, 17. Since 8^2+15^2 = 17^2, it's a right triangle with hypotenuse 17. Sin of an angle = (opposite side)/(hypotenuse).

- If angle A is opposite the side of length 8, sin A = 8/17 ≈ 0.4706.
- If angle A is opposite the side of length 15, sin A = 15/17 ≈ 0.8824.

Tell me which side is opposite A if you want the angle measure in degrees.
