Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The given value is cscθ=284\csc \theta = \frac{\sqrt{28}}{4} . We need to find the value of sinθ\sin \theta
3. We know that sinθ\sin \theta and cscθ\csc \theta are reciprocal identities, i.e., sinθ=1cscθ\sin \theta = \frac{1}{\csc \theta}

STEP 2

We can use the reciprocal identity of sinθ\sin \theta and cscθ\csc \theta to find the value of sinθ\sin \theta.
sinθ=1cscθ\sin \theta = \frac{1}{\csc \theta}

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given value for cscθ\csc \theta to calculate sinθ\sin \theta.
sinθ=128\sin \theta = \frac{1}{\frac{\sqrt{28}}{}}

STEP 4

This is a complex fraction, we can simplify it by multiplying the numerator and the denominator of the big fraction by the reciprocal of the small fraction.
sinθ=1×428\sin \theta =1 \times \frac{4}{\sqrt{28}}

STEP 5

implify the multiplication.
sinθ=428\sin \theta = \frac{4}{\sqrt{28}}

STEP 6

Rationalize the denominator by multiplying the numerator and the denominator by 28\sqrt{28}.
sinθ=4×2828\sin \theta = \frac{4 \times \sqrt{28}}{28}

STEP 7

implify the fraction.
sinθ=42828\sin \theta = \frac{4\sqrt{28}}{28}

STEP 8

We can simplify the 28\sqrt{28} to 272\sqrt{7}, and the fraction to 27\frac{2}{7}.
sinθ=277\sin \theta = \frac{2\sqrt{7}}{7}So, the exact value of sinθ\sin \theta for the given value of cscθ\csc \theta is 277\frac{2\sqrt{7}}{7}.
