What are trigonometric relations?

Trigonometry is the study of the relationships between the angles and the lengths of the sides of triangles

The six trigonometric functions are sin , cos , tan , cosec , sec and cot

Let the angle be θ , such that

sin θ = opposite / hypotenuse

cos θ = adjacent / hypotenuse

tan θ = opposite / adjacent

tan θ = sin θ / cos θ

cosec θ = 1/sin θ

sec θ = 1/cos θ

cot θ = 1/tan θ

Given data ,

Let the triangles be ΔRST and ΔQRT

Now , from the figure

∠S = 90° in the triangle ΔRST

And RS = 2/√3

∠T = 60° in the triangle ΔRST

Now ,

sin 60° = opposite / hypotenuse

           = RS / RT

           = ( 2/√3 ) / RT

We know , sin 60° = √3 / 2

Substituting the value of  sin 60° in the equation , we get

√3 / 2 = ( 2 / √3 ) / RT

Multiply by RT on both sides , we get

RT x ( √3 / 2  ) =  ( 2 / √3 )

Divide by ( √3 / 2  ) on both sides , we get

RT = ( 2 / √3 ) x ( 2 / √3 )

RT = 4 / 3

Therefore , the value of RT = 4/3

Now , from the figure

∠R = 90° in the triangle ΔQRT

and ∠T = 45° in the triangle ΔQRT

So ,

tan 45° = opposite / adjacent

We know tan 45° = 1

Substituting the value for tan 45° = 1 in the equation , we get

1 = opposite / adjacent

1 = x / RT

Multiply by RT on both sides , we get

x = RT

So , x = 4/3

Hence , The value of x is 4/3
