Answer:

The exact value of sin A is opp/hyp = -12/13

Step-by-step explanation:

If A is in Quadrant IV then the "opposite side" is negative and the "adjacent side" is positive.  Since sec A = hyp / adj = 13 / 5 and since opp^2 + adj^2 must add up to hyp^2,   Therefore y = √(hyp^2 - adj^2), or

y = -√(13^2 - 25) = -√144 = 12.

The exact value of sin A is opp/hyp = -12/13
