Answer 1

I'll do Problem 8 to get you started

a = 4 and c = 7 are the two given sides

Use these values in the pythagorean theorem to find side b

$a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\\\4^2 + b^2 = 7^2\\\\16 + b^2 = 49\\\\b^2 = 49 - 16\\\\b^2 = 33\\\\b = \sqrt{33}$

With respect to reference angle A, we have:

• opposite side = a = 4
• adjacent side = b = $\sqrt{33}$
• hypotenuse = c = 7

Now let's compute the 6 trig ratios for the angle A.

We'll start with the sine ratio which is opposite over hypotenuse.

$\sin(\text{angle}) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}\\\\\sin(A) = \frac{a}{c}\\\\\sin(A) = \frac{4}{7}$

Then cosine which is adjacent over hypotenuse

$\cos(\text{angle}) = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}\\\\\cos(A) = \frac{b}{c}\\\\\cos(A) = \frac{\sqrt{33}}{7}$

Tangent is the ratio of opposite over adjacent

$\tan(\text{angle}) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}\\\\\tan(A) = \frac{a}{b}\\\\\tan(A) = \frac{4}{\sqrt{33}}\\\\\tan(A) = \frac{4\sqrt{33}}{\sqrt{33}*\sqrt{33}}\\\\\tan(A) = \frac{4\sqrt{33}}{(\sqrt{33})^2}\\\\\tan(A) = \frac{4\sqrt{33}}{33}$

Rationalizing the denominator may be optional, so I would ask your teacher for clarification.

So far we've taken care of 3 trig functions. The remaining 3 are reciprocals of the ones mentioned so far.

• cosecant, abbreviated as csc, is the reciprocal of sine
• secant, abbreviated as sec, is the reciprocal of cosine
• cotangent, abbreviated as cot, is the reciprocal of tangent

So we'll flip the fraction of each like so:

$\csc(\text{angle}) = \frac{\text{hypotenuse}}{\text{opposite}} \ \text{ ... reciprocal of sine}\\\\\csc(A) = \frac{c}{a}\\\\\csc(A) = \frac{7}{4}\\\\\sec(\text{angle}) = \frac{\text{hypotenuse}}{\text{adjacent}} \ \text{ ... reciprocal of cosine}\\\\\sec(A) = \frac{c}{b}\\\\\sec(A) = \frac{7}{\sqrt{33}} = \frac{7\sqrt{33}}{33}\\\\\cot(\text{angle}) = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{opposite}} \ \text{ ... reciprocal of tangent}\\\\\cot(A) = \frac{b}{a}\\\\\cot(A) = \frac{\sqrt{33}}{4}$

Summary:

The missing side is $b = \sqrt{33}$

The 6 trig functions have these results

$\sin(A) = \frac{4}{7}\\\\\cos(A) = \frac{\sqrt{33}}{7}\\\\\tan(A) = \frac{4}{\sqrt{33}} = \frac{4\sqrt{33}}{33}\\\\\csc(A) = \frac{7}{4}\\\\\sec(A) = \frac{7}{\sqrt{33}} = \frac{7\sqrt{33}}{33}\\\\\cot(A) = \frac{\sqrt{33}}{4}$

Rationalizing the denominator may be optional, but I would ask your teacher to be sure.
