Question

In this triangle, side AT = 24. Please give the value for the sine, cosine, and tangent for this diagram (Which is the marked angle?). Give the value as a ratio ONLY. Make sure all ratios are in the lowest form.
Be sure to explain IN WRITING how you find sine, cosine, and tangent! If you are not sure, check the directions in this problem!

Answer 1

The value  of the sine, cosine and tangent of the figure will be found as follows:
a] Sine
sin x=(opposite)/(hypotenuse)
opposite=7
hypotenuse=25
thus:
sin x=  7/25  

 b] Cosine
cos x=adjacent/hypotensue
adjacent=24
hypotenuse=25
cos x=24/25

Tangent
Tan x=opposite/adajcent
opposite=7
adjacent=24
thus
tan x=7/24
