Question 418238: a student states that sin A is greater than sin X because the lengths of the sides of triangle ABC are greater than the lengths of the sides of triangle XYZ. What is the student's error? show explaination. Answer by richard1234(7193) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Not necessarily, since the sine has to do with the "ratios" of the sides, not the lengths of the sides themselves. For example, if triangles ABC and XYZ are similar, then sin A = sin X.
