Q. In NOP \triangle \mathrm{NOP} , the measure of P=90,NP=3,PO=4 \angle \mathrm{P}=90^{\circ}, \mathrm{NP}=3, \mathrm{PO}=4 , and ON=5 \mathrm{ON}=5 . What is the value of the sine of N \angle \mathrm{N} to the nearest hundredth?
  1. Identify Triangle and Sides: Question Prompt: Calculate the sine of N\angle N in triangle NOP where P=90\angle P=90^\circ, NP=3NP=3, PO=4PO=4, and ON=5ON=5.
  2. Use Sine Definition: Identify the right triangle and the sides. Since P\angle P is 9090 degrees, triangle NOPNOP is a right triangle with NPNP as the opposite side, POPO as the adjacent side, and ONON as the hypotenuse for angle NN.
  3. Plug in Values: Use the sine definition. Sine of an angle in a right triangle is the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the hypotenuse. So, sin(N)=NPON\sin(N) = \frac{NP}{ON}.
  4. Calculate Decimal Value: Plug in the values. NP=3NP = 3 and ON=5ON = 5. Therefore, sin(N)=35\sin(N) = \frac{3}{5}.
  5. Round to Nearest Hundredth: Calculate the decimal value. 33 divided by 55 equals 0.60.6.
  6. Round to Nearest Hundredth: Calculate the decimal value. 33 divided by 55 equals 0.60.6. Round to the nearest hundredth. 0.60.6 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 0.600.60.
