Math Problem Statement
In right triangle ABC above, what is the sine of A?
Solution
In the right triangle , we need to find the sine of angle .
In a right triangle, the sine of an angle is defined as:
Here, for :
- The side opposite to is (side ).
- The hypotenuse is (side ).
So, the sine of is:
Thus, the correct answer is:
