Answer

$$\sin \theta = \frac{x}{{\sqrt {{x^2} + 16} }}$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Let }}x = 4\tan \theta ,{\text{ then }} \cr & \tan \theta = \frac{x}{4} = \frac{{{\text{Opposite side}}}}{{{\text{Adjacent side}}}} \cr & {\text{Hypotenuse}} = \sqrt {{x^2} + {4^2}} = \sqrt {{x^2} + 16} \cr & \cr & {\text{Express sin}}\theta {\text{ in terms of }}x \cr & \sin \theta = \frac{{{\text{Opposite side}}}}{{{\text{Hypotenuse}}}} \cr & \sin \theta = \frac{x}{{\sqrt {{x^2} + 16} }} \cr} $$
