In a triangle PQR, angle Q is right angle and value of angle P is x and PQ is 7xm and QR is 24cm find sinx
Answers
pr² = 7²+24² = 625 =25²
pr =25
sin x = 24/25 = 0.96
Answer:
The value of Sinx = 24/25
Step-by-step Explanations :
Given : In ∆PQR,
∠Q = 90° & ∠P = x
PQ = 7cm & QR = 24cm
To find : sinx = ?
( Please see the attached document for figure )
In ∆PQR ,
∠Q = 90° & ∠P = x
By applying Pythagoras theorem in ∆PQR, We get,
(PR)² = (PQ)² + (QR)²
(PR)² = 7² + (24)²
= 49 + 576
(PR)² = 625
By taking square root on both sides we get,.
PR = 25cm
We know that,
Sinα = opposite side / Hypotenuse
∴ Sinx = opposite side / Hypotenuse
= QR/PR
Substituting the value in above equation we get,
Sinx = 24/25
Hence the value of Sinx = 24/25
