SOLUTION: "Express sinA in simplest form." Triangle side lengths: A=4, B=b, C(hypotenuse)=4 sqrt ( 5 ). Ive never even known what sin does, ive seen it on calculators but thats its.

----
Draw a right triangle.
Label the right angle "C".
Label the hypotenuse "c"
----
Label the side opposite angle B, b
Label the side opposite angle A, a=4.
----
By definition, sin(A) = (side opposite A)/(hypotenuse) = 4/c
