Question

Use the image below to answer the following question. Find the value of sin x° and cos y°. What relationship do the ratios of sin x° and cos y° share?

Answer 1

The ratios of sin x° and cos y° are 15/8.

We have given that,

Use the image below to answer the following question.

We have to determine to find the value of sin x° and cos y°.

By applying Pythagoras theorem in the triangle given in the picture,

What is the Pythagoras theorem?

(Hypotenuse)² = (leg 1)² + (leg 2)²

PO² = (15)² + 8²

PO² = 225 + 64

PO = √289

PO = 17

By applying the sine rule in the given triangle,

sin(x°) = Opposie side/hypotenous

         = 15/17

cos(y°) = Adjucent side/hypotenous

          = 8/17

The relation between the ratio of sin(x) and cos(x) will be,

$\frac{sinx}{cosx} =\frac{\frac{15}{17} }{\frac{8}{17} }$

$=\frac{15}{8}$

Therefore the ratios of sin x° and cos y° are 15/8.
