    If in a triangle ABC,\[a=15,\text{ }b=36,\text{ }c=39,\]then sin c is equal to:

    A)  \[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\]                    

    B)         \[\frac{1}{2}\]

    C)  \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\]                    

    D)         \[-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\]

    E)  \[-\frac{1}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given that\[a=15,\text{ }b=36,\text{ }c=39\] \[\sin \frac{C}{2}=\frac{\sqrt{(s-a)(s-b)}}{ab}\]and \[s=\frac{a+b+c}{2}\] \[=\frac{15+36+39}{2}=45\]                         \[\Rightarrow \]               \[s-a=30,s-b=9\] \[\therefore \]  \[\sin \frac{C}{2}=\sqrt{\frac{30\times 9}{15\times 36}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\]
