Math Problem Statement
Solution
To simplify the expression , we can approach it geometrically using a right triangle.
Steps to Simplify:
-
Interpret the Inverse Sine Function: This means that . In terms of a right triangle, this implies that the opposite side of the angle is , and the hypotenuse is 1 (since ).
-
Find the Adjacent Side: To find , we need the adjacent side. Using the Pythagorean theorem, the adjacent side is:
-
Find : Since is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse:
