In right triangle ABC with right angle at C, find sin A, cos A and tan A, if side a = 8, side b = 15 and side c = 17.
sin A=
cos A=
tan A=
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
step 1
Find sin(A)
sin(A)=BC/AB ------> opposite side divided by the hypotenuse
substitute given values
<h2>sin(A)=8/17</h2>step 2
Find cos(A)
cos(A)=AC/AB -----> adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse
substitute
<h2>cos(A)=15/17</h2>step 3
Find tan(A)
tan(A)=BC/AC ---> opposite side divided by the adjacent side
<h2>tan(A)=8/15</h2>

Answer:
1. 20%
2. 40%
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the percent of the total payment that the down payment is we have to you use the following equation:
Lets start plugging things into the equation.
The part is equal to the down payment and the whole is the total cost of the studio apartment.
Let's do this for the first question
So we see that 24,000 is 20% of the total purchase price!
Let's do this for the next question:
48,000 is 40% of the 120,000 total cost!
