The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we start with the given equation and find the value of sin A. ### Step 1: Start with the given equation We are given: \[ 4 \cot A = 3 \] ### Step 2: Solve for cot A To isolate cot A, divide both sides of the equation by 4: \[ \cot A = \frac{3}{4} \] ### Step 3: Understand cotangent in terms of a right triangle Recall that: \[ \cot A = \frac{\text{base}}{\text{perpendicular}} \] From our equation, we can assign: - Base = 3 - Perpendicular = 4 ### Step 4: Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse We need to find the hypotenuse (h) of the right triangle using the Pythagorean theorem: \[ h = \sqrt{(\text{perpendicular})^2 + (\text{base})^2} \] Substituting the values: \[ h = \sqrt{4^2 + 3^2} \] \[ h = \sqrt{16 + 9} \] \[ h = \sqrt{25} \] \[ h = 5 \] ### Step 5: Find sin A Now we can find sin A using the definition of sine: \[ \sin A = \frac{\text{perpendicular}}{\text{hypotenuse}} \] Substituting the values: \[ \sin A = \frac{4}{5} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of sin A is: \[ \sin A = \frac{4}{5} \] ---
