Answer:
Cos θ = -4/5
Tan θ = -3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is as following:
Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.
Angle θ lies in the second quadrant, and sin θ =3/5.
cos θ = -4/5, -3/5, 3/5, 4/5
tan θ = -4/3, -3/4, 3/4, 4/3
==================================================
Since, the angle lies in second quadrant (negative x axis and positive y axis) we can deduce that cos θ is negative and tan θ is also negative.
If sin θ =3/5
∴ Cos θ = -4/5 ⇒ because θ lies in the second quadrant.
And
Tan θ = (sin θ)/(cos θ) = (3/5) / (-4/5) = -3/4.
The length of the hypothenuse or the value of x is equal to 19.53
Data;
- hypothenuse = x
- adjacent = 11.2
- opposite = 16
To solve this problem, we have to use Pythagoras's theorem which is used to find the missing side in a right angle triangle if we have at least two sides.
The formula for this is
Let's substitute the values and solve for the missing side
