Answer»

{\boxed{\underline{\tt{\orange{Required  \:  \: answer:-}}}}}

★GIVEN:-

  • \displaystyle \sf{Cos A =  \frac{15}{17} }

★TO FIND:-

  • \displaystyle \sf{<klux>SIN</klux> A }

★FORMULA USED:-

PHYTHAGORAS theorem:-

  • \displaystyle \sf{HYPOTENUSE^2 = BASE^2 +PERPENDICULAR^2}

And,

  • \displaystyle \sf{Cos A =   \frac{Base }{Hypotenuse} }

  • \displaystyle \sf{Sin A =  \frac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse} }

★SOLUTION:-

As we know that,

Cos A = B/H

It MEANS that Base = 15 and Hypotenuse = 17

We will find Perpendicular by the use of phythagoras theorem:-

\displaystyle \sf  : \longrightarrow{ {(17)}^{2}  =  {(15)}^{2} +   {P}^{2} } \\  \\\displaystyle \sf  : \longrightarrow{ 289=  225+   {P}^{2} }  \\  \\ \: \displaystyle \sf  : \longrightarrow{   {P}^{2}  = 64}  \\  \\ \displaystyle \sf  : \longrightarrow{   {P}^{2}  =  {<klux>8</klux>}^{2} }  \\  \\  \sf{on \: comparing \:as \: the \: powers \: are \: equal} \\  \\ \displaystyle \sf  : \longrightarrow{  \pink{P=  {8}}}

Now the Perpendicular is 8.

So,

\displaystyle \sf{Sin A =  \frac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse} }

{ \boxed{ \underline{ \purple{ \sf{ \bf{{Sin  \: A =  \frac{8}{17} }}}}}}}

HENCE, the value of Sin A = 8/17.
