Question

In a right triangle, CosA=0.352 and SinA=0.936 What is the approximate value of tanA?

Answer 1

Answer:

tanA=2.659

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given cosA=0.352 and sinA=0.936

We have to find the value of tanA

We know the formula for tanA

 tanA=$\dfrac{sinA}{cosA}$

Hence, tanA= $\dfrac{0.936}{0.352}$

 tanA=2.659

Hence, value for tanA is:

   2.659

Answer 2

$\tan A=\frac{\sin A}{\cos A}$

Proof: $\sin\div\cos=\frac{o}h\div\frac{a}h=\frac{o}h\times\frac{h}a=\frac{oh}{ha}=\frac{o}a=\tan$

$\cos A=0.352,\ \sin A=0.936$

$\tan A=\frac{0.936}{0.352}$

$\boxed{\tan A=2.65\overline{90}}$ (round as needed)
