Given is a Right triangle PQR with angle Q = 90 degrees.

Given are sides PQ = 8 cm, QR = 15 cm, PR = 17 cm.

Side PR is the hypotenuse.

We can use formula for "sin" given as follows :-

$sin(\theta)=\frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}$

<u>For angle R, opposite side would be PQ. </u>

$sin(R)=\frac{PQ}{PR} \\\\ sin(R)=\frac{8}{17} \\\\ sin(R)=0.470588235 \\\\ R=sin^{-1}(0.470588235) \\\\ R = 28.07248694 \;\;degrees \approx 28.07 \;degrees$

<u>For angle P, opposite side would be QR. </u>

$sin(P)=\frac{QR}{PR} \\\\ sin(P)=\frac{15}{17} \\\\ sin(P)=0.882352941 \\\\ P=sin^{-1}(0.882352941) \\\\ P = 61.92751306 \;\;degrees \approx 61.93 \;degrees$

Hence, R = 28.07 degrees and P = 61.93 degrees.

Use the given information to find the exact value of the trigonometric function

eimsori [14]

$\begin{gathered} \csc \theta=-\frac{6}{5} \\ \tan \theta>0 \\ \cos \frac{\theta}{2}=\text{?} \end{gathered}$

Half Angle Formula

$\cos \frac{\theta}{2}=\pm\sqrt[\square]{\frac{1+\cos\theta}{2}}$ $\tan \theta>0\text{ and csc}\theta\text{ is negative in the third quadrant}$ $\begin{gathered} \csc \theta=-\frac{6}{5}=\frac{r}{y} \\ x^2+y^2=r^2 \\ x=\pm\sqrt[\square]{r^2-y^2} \\ x=\pm\sqrt[\square]{6^2-(-5)^2} \\ x=\pm\sqrt[\square]{36-25} \\ x=\pm\sqrt[\square]{11} \\ \text{x is negative since the angle is on the 3rd quadrant} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} \cos \theta=\frac{x}{r}=\frac{-\sqrt[\square]{11}}{6} \\ \cos \frac{\theta}{2}=\pm\sqrt[\square]{\frac{1+\cos\theta}{2}} \\ \cos \frac{\theta}{2}is\text{ also negative in the 3rd quadrant} \\ \cos \frac{\theta}{2}=-\sqrt[\square]{\frac{1+\frac{-\sqrt[\square]{11}}{6}}{2}} \\ \cos \frac{\theta}{2}=-\sqrt[\square]{\frac{\frac{6-\sqrt[\square]{11}}{6}}{2}} \\ \cos \frac{\theta}{2}=-\sqrt[\square]{\frac{6-\sqrt[\square]{11}}{12}} \\ \\ \end{gathered}$

Answer:

$\cos \frac{\theta}{2}=-\sqrt[\square]{\frac{6-\sqrt[\square]{11}}{12}}$

Checking:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{\theta}{2}=\cos ^{-1}(-\sqrt[\square]{\frac{6-\sqrt[\square]{11}}{12}}) \\ \frac{\theta}{2}=118.22^{\circ} \\ \theta=236.44^{\circ}\text{ (3rd quadrant)} \end{gathered}$

Also,

$\csc \theta=\frac{1}{\sin\theta}=\frac{1}{\sin (236.44)}=-\frac{6}{5}\text{ QED}$

The answer is none of the choices

Distance between (0,2) and (0,4)

Lorico [155]

There are many ways to do this, I prefer the distance formula it looks like this:
$\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$
We are given 2 pairs of coordinates: (0,2) and (0,4)
0=x1
2=y1
0=x2
4=y2
We take the numbers and sub in the values above in place of the variables:
$\sqrt{(0-0)^2+(4-2)^2}$
Simplfy it:
$\sqrt{(0)^2+(2)^2}$
0^2=0
2^2=4
We are left with :
$\sqrt{4}$
$\sqrt{4} =2$
Final answer: 2
