One angle is a right angle. The measure of a second angle is x/li The length of the hypotenuse is

Question

In the triangle shown, what is the value of $\sin x °$ ?

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is 16 23 . In a right triangle, the sine of an acute angle is defined as the ratio of the length of the side opposite the angle to the length of the hypotenuse. In the triangle shown, the length of the side opposite the angle with measure x &#176; is 16 units and the length of the hypotenuse is 23 units. Therefore, the value of sin x &#176; is 16 23 . Note that 16/23, .6956, .6957, 0.695, and 0.696 are examples of ways to enter a correct answer.
