Answer:
sin x = 0.4706
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Height, h = 8
Base, b = 15
Let H be the hypotenuse of the triangle. Using Pythagoras theorem,
[tex]H=\sqrt{8^2+15^2} \\\\H=17[/tex]
We know that,
[tex]\sin\theta=\dfrac{h}{H}[/tex]
So,
[tex]\sinx=\dfrac{8}{17}\\\\\sin x=0.4706[/tex]
So, the correct option is (b).
