ΔXYZ is right angled at Y. If tanX = 15/8, then what is the value of sinZ ?
Given : $$\tan X$$ = $$\frac{15}{8}$$
Also, $$\tan X=\frac{YZ}{XY}=\frac{15}{8}$$
Let XY = 8 cm and YZ = 15 cm
Thus, in $$\triangle$$ XYZ, => $$(XZ)^2=(XY)^2+(YZ)^2$$
=> $$(XZ)^2=(8)^2+(15)^2$$
=> $$(XZ)^2=64+225=289$$
=> $$XZ=\sqrt{289}=17$$ cm
To find : $$\sin Z=\frac{XY}{XZ}$$
= $$\frac{8}{17}$$
