The sine of an angle x is defined as the ratio of the opposing side to the hypotenuse, in a right triangle having x as one of its acute angles. If it was greater than 1, it would mean the opposing side was longer than the hypotenuse. Try to draw a right triangle with one of the sides longer than the diagonal. You'll notice it's impossible. So the sine cannot be greater than 1.

Fitting the triangle into a circle of radius 1, such that the angle x is located at the origin and the hypotenuse is a radius of the circle, you can define "sine of x" for any angle. Since the triangle may end up flipped in any direction, including the negative x and y axis, it turns out that the sine of any number is between -1 and +1.

Sine ratio for an acute angle of a right triangle always be a positive value less than 1.

In a right angled Δ ABC, sine of angle $\theta$ can be written as:

$\rm Sin \; \theta = Perpendicular /Hypotenuse$

Therefore,

$\rm Sin \; \theta =AB/AC$

Please refer to the diagram that is uploaded in the solution.

The Pythagoras theorem can be used to determine the unknown value in a right triangle from two known values.

Thus, the formulated way to represent the theorem for hypotenuse is given below:

$\rm H = \sqrt{( P^2 + B^2) } .....(1)$

Hence,

Hypotenuse is the longest side of the Right triangle and therefore its value must be greater than zero and should always be more than perpendicular.

Thus,

$\rm Hypotenuse 0 \; and\; Hypotenuse Perpendicular$

$\rm Sin \theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular }{Hypotenuse}$

so, we can say that $\rm Sin\theta$ is always positive and less then 1.

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.

An engineer is going to redesign an ejection seat for an airplane. the seat was designed for pilots weighing between 120 lb and 161 lb. the new population of pilots has normally distributed weights with a mean of 125 lb and a standard deviation of 28.1 lb. a)if a pilot is randomly selected, find the probability that his weight is between 120 lb and 161 lb. the probability is approximately? b. if 36 different pilots are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean weight is between 120 lb and 161 lb. the probability is approximately? c. when redesigning the ejection seat, which probability is more relevant? . part (b) because the seat performance for a single pilot is more important. b. part (b) because the seat performance for a sample of pilots is more important. c. part (a) because the seat performance for a sample of pilots is more important. d. part (a) because the seat performance for a single pilot is more important.
