These are two equations you should have in your notes, on a notecard, or some reference sheet.

Ideally you should memorize them




We will use the second equation.

----------------------------------

Start with the equation mentioned above

Plug in y = 4

Flip the equation

Divide both sides by sin(theta)

Simplify (note: sin(theta) can't be equal to 0)

----------------------------------

The final answer is choice D
