If the sin of angle x is 4 over 5, and the triangle was dilated to be two times as big as the original, what would be the value of the sin of x for the dilated triangle? Hint: Use the slash symbol ( / ) to represent the fraction bar and enter the fraction with no spaces. @Mertsj

Do you mean the sides would be twice as big as the original?

joannablackwelder · Answer

The value of sin is the same for similar triangles.

anonymous · Answer

thats the eact question? I am confused on this one

anonymous · Answer

so the answer would be 4/5

mertsj · Answer

If so, and the angles remained the same, ie. the triangles are similar, then the sin, which is the ratio of two of the sides, would still be 4/5

joannablackwelder · Answer

8/10 simplifies to 4/5

joannablackwelder · Answer

Yup :)
