Yes. Write it as sin(theta) = 48/52 .    @dopegyal_

anonymous · Answer

48/52 I got 0.923 . it isn't making sense !! ): @Directrix

directrix · Answer

Why doesn't it make sense?

Sin(theta) = .923

Theta is something else.

Do you know how to find it on your calculator?

anonymous · Answer

no ...

directrix · Answer

Well, you'll need to learn how to find inverse sines on your calculator or use the Google calculator. I cranked out this one for you. That is 67.38 degrees.

anonymous · Answer

Wait, then why are my answer choices fractions?

anonymous · Answer

That's what confuses me.

directrix · Answer

I did not see any answer choices and assumed you wanted to find the angle. What is the question. Let me look at your initial post.

anonymous · Answer

ok one moment pls

directrix · Answer

You did not post any options but if it is the ratio you want, try reducing 48/52. What does 48/52 simplify to?

anonymous · Answer

12/13

directrix · Answer

That is what I got. Maybe that is one of your options.
