$slope = \frac{rise}{run} = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} \\ = \frac{ - 7 - 13}{5 - ( - 3)} \\ = \frac{ - 20}{8} \\ = \frac{ - 2 \times 10}{2 \times 4} \\ = \frac{ - 10}{4} \\ = \frac{ - 2 \times 5}{ 2 \times 2} = \frac{5}{2}$

What are the sine and cosine ratios for a 30°–60°–90° triangle with a hypotenuse of 6, when θ = 60°?

Margaret [11]

Answer:

There are two ways to do this problem algebraically or trigonometrically.

Algebraically/geometrically

The ratios of the sides of a 30/60/90 tri. are x, x√3, 2x (short leg, long leg, hyp). Therefore, if the long leg is 6 'units'. then 6 = x√3. x = 6√3.

The hyp is 2x then the hypotenuse is 2(6√3) = 12√3, rationalizing is 12√3/3 = 4√3

Using Trig.

We can use sinx = y/r = opp/hyp. The long leg of 6 is opposite 60 degrees (pi/3).

Therefore, sin(pi/3) = 6/r =

r = 6/sin(pi/3) = 6/(√3/2) = 12/√3, when you rationalize you get 12√3/3 = 4√3
