First find the length of the hypotenuse.
\n" ); document.write( "c^2 = 5^2 + 7^2
\n" ); document.write( "c^2 = 25 + 49
\n" ); document.write( "c^2 = 64
\n" ); document.write( "c = sqrt(64) = 8
\n" ); document.write( "Since sin = opposite/hypotenuse,
\n" ); document.write( "sin = 5/8 = 0.625
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
