Start by drawing it!

Note that OC = 5 and OD = 5 because both of those are also radii. Note also that because chord CD is perpendicular to OB, it’s bisected by OB. In other words, it’s split into 2 segments each measuring 4.

 

Things are really coming together! Because we know our Pythagorean triples when we see them, we know that we’ve got 3-4-5 triangles here. Therefore, the sine of angle OCD is 3/5.
