Interactive practice questions

Evaluate $\sin\theta$sinθ within $\triangle ABC$△ABC.

A right triangle labeled with vertices $A$A, $B$B, and $C$C. The right angle is located at vertex $C$C as indicated by the small square. Each of the non-right angles is marked with a small arc near the vertex. The triangle has two angles labeled: angle α (alpha) at vertex $A$A and angle θ (theta) at vertex $B$B. Side $BC$BC, opposite to angle α (alpha), measures $6$ units. Side $AC$AC, opposite to angle θ (theta), measures $8$ units. Side $AB$AB, the hypotenuse that is opposite to the right angle, measures $10$ units.
