The Sine or Sinθ in a right-angle triangle is the ratio of its perpendicular to its Hypotenuse. The height of the triangle is 6.2172 cm.
What is Sine (Sinθ)?
The Sine or Sinθ in a right-angle triangle is the ratio of its perpendicular to its Hypotenuse. it is given as,
Sin(θ) = Perpendicular/Hypotenuse
where,
θ is the angle,
Perpendicular is the side of the triangle opposite to the angle θ,
The hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle.
In the given diagram let the centre of the circle be represented by O, while the point at which line segment h and the circle intersect be represented by B. Also, the point at which the 90° angle is formed is represented by A.
Now, in the ΔABO, for the ∠AOB, the sine ratio of the trigonometric function can be written as,
sin(θ) = perpendicular / Hypotenuse
sin(51°) = AB / OB
sin(51°) = h/ 8 cm
8cm × sin(51°) = h
h = 6.2172 cm
Hence, the height of the triangle is 6.2172 cm.
