PLEASE HELP!!!! What is the value of sin N? (image below)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if angle N is the reference angle..then base=ON..perpendicular=OP and hypotenuse=NP..Now sine of an angle is defined as the ratio of perpendicular to the hypotenuse..i.e perpendicular/hypotenuse..I hope you can get your answer now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i marked the answer square root three

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is wrong..based on my explanation, can you say the answer now??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

square root three over 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes,that's right..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in such problems..you have to be clear which is the reference angle and identify base and perpendicular..hypotenuse will always be the same no matter which is the reference angle

thank you for your help
