Find the sine of the smaller angle of a triangle with sides 26 cm 28 cm 30 cm.

In the triangle opposite the smaller angle lies the smaller side of the triangle, then the sought angle ACB.

Let’s apply the cosine theorem for a triangle.

AB ^ 2 = AC ^ 2 + BC ^ 2 – 2 * AC * BC * CosACB.

676 = 784 + 900 – 2 * 28 * 30 * CosACB.

1680 * CosACB = 1008.

CosACB = 1008/1680 = 3/5 = 0.6.

Sin2ACB + Cos2ACB = 1.

Sin2ACB = 1 – Cos2ACB = 1 – 0.36 = 0.64.

SinACB = 0.8.

Answer: The sine of the smaller angle is 0.8.
