Question

What is the value of sinC ?

Answer 1

sinC=(8/17)
solve for C = arcsin(8/17)

Answer 2

`sin \:C =(8)/(17)`

Explanation:

In a right triangle, the sine of an angle is the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the hypotenuse.

`sin \:x =(O)/(H)`

From the formula above we know that the sine of an angle is the opposite side divided by the hypotenuse. The opposite side is AB and has a length of 8. The hypotenuse is AC with a length of 17. So we can write

`sin \:C =(8)/(17)`
