1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to find the value of sinL\sin L rounded to the nearest hundredth. We are given a right triangle LKJLKJ with a right angle at vertex KK. The length of side KJKJ is 2 and the length of side LJLJ is
7.

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to find the length of side LKLK. We can use the Pythagorean theorem:
a2+b2=c2a^2 + b^2 = c^2
where aa and bb are the lengths of the legs of the right triangle and cc is the length of the hypotenuse.
In this case, LK2+KJ2=LJ2LK^2 + KJ^2 = LJ^2, so LK2+22=72LK^2 + 2^2 = 7^2.
LK2+4=49LK^2 + 4 = 49
LK2=494LK^2 = 49 - 4
LK2=45LK^2 = 45
LK=45=35LK = \sqrt{45} = 3\sqrt{5}
Now we can find sinL\sin L. The sine of an angle in a right triangle is the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the hypotenuse.
sinL=oppositehypotenuse=KJLJ=27\sin L = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{KJ}{LJ} = \frac{2}{7}
To find the value of sinL\sin L rounded to the nearest hundredth, we divide 2 by 7:
270.2857\frac{2}{7} \approx 0.2857
Rounding to the nearest hundredth, we get 0.
