Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
\(\frac{5}{\sin 36^o} = \frac{2}{\sin \theta} = \frac{5}{\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{2}{\sin \theta}\)
10 = \(\frac{2}{\sin \theta}\)
sin\(\theta\) = \(\frac{2}{10}\)
= \(\frac{1}{5}\)
\(\frac{5}{\sin 36^o} = \frac{2}{\sin \theta} = \frac{5}{\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{2}{\sin \theta}\)
10 = \(\frac{2}{\sin \theta}\)
sin\(\theta\) = \(\frac{2}{10}\)
= \(\frac{1}{5}\)
