In triangle ABC, angle C is a straight line, sinA = 0.2; BC = 5. Find AB.

In a right-angled triangle, the sine of the angle is equal to the ratio of the opposite leg to the hypotenuse. Consider a right-angled triangle ABC: AC and CB are legs, AB is hypotenuse.

Let us express the sine of angle A: sinA = BC / AB.

sinA = 0.2, BC = 5. Substitute the data and find the value AB.

0.2 = 5 / AB; 0.2 * AB = 5 * 1; AB = 5: 0.2 = 25.

Answer: AB = 25.
