Finding Sine in a Right Triangle

Hard Additional Math Topics Trigonometry

Consider a right triangle where one of the angles is $\theta$. The length of the side opposite to angle $\theta$ is 8 units, and the length of the hypotenuse is 10 units. Using the definition of sine in a right triangle, determine the value of $\sin(\theta)$. Which of the following options represents the correct value of $\sin(\theta)$?

Recall that the sine of an angle in a right triangle is defined as the ratio of the length of the side opposite the angle to the length of the hypotenuse.
