Answer:

16.86°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the value for sin(a) = 0.29, we need to find the angle, in this case, a, whose sin(a) = 0.29.

In other words, we need to find <em>the inverse function</em> for the function in question.

In this case, the inverse function of <em>sin(x)</em> is <em>arcsin(x) </em>(which is also commonly known as \\ sin^{-1}(x)).

So, for \\ sin(a) = 0.29, we can find the function \\ sin^{-1}(x) in a digital calculator, or asking WolframAlpha in Internet, so we have that \\ sin^{-1}(0.29)=16.86 degrees (°).

In fact, we can check this result for a = 16.86°:\\ sin(16.86) = 0.29.

In other words, we found that 16.86° is the <em>angle in degrees</em> whose \\ sin(16.86) = 0.29.

<u>One word of caution</u>: we need to be careful about if we are using <em>degrees</em>  (known for this symbol ° ) or <em>radians</em> when calculating <em>angles</em>.

In the past, people were used to consult large tables with values for \\ sin(x), cos(x), tan(x) and so on, and looking for the <em>angle</em> that generated such a value of \\ sin(x), cos(x), tan(x), respectively.

There are many other cases in which we have inverse functions, for example, logartithm is the inverse function of exponential function.

let sin(θ) =3/5 and tan(y) =12/5 both angels comes from 2 different right trianglesa)find the third side of the two tringles b)
statuscvo [17]

In a right triangle, we haev some trigonometric relationships between the sides and angles. Given an angle, the ratio between the opposite side to the angle by the hypotenuse is the sine of this angle, therefore, the following statement

\sin (\theta)=\frac{3}{5}

Describes the following triangle

To find the missing length x, we could use the Pythagorean Theorem. The sum of the squares of the legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. From this, we have the following equation

x^2+3^2=5^2

Solving for x, we have

\begin{gathered} x^2+3^2=5^2 \\ x^2+9=25 \\ x^2=25-9 \\ x^2=16 \\ x=\sqrt[]{16} \\ x=4 \end{gathered}

The missing length of the first triangle is equal to 4.

For the other triangle, instead of a sine we have a tangent relation. Given an angle in a right triangle, its tanget is equal to the ratio between the opposite side and adjacent side.The following expression

\tan (y)=\frac{12}{5}

Describes the following triangle

Using the Pythagorean Theorem again, we have

5^2+12^2=h^2

Solving for h, we have

\begin{gathered} 5^2+12^2=h^2 \\ 25+144=h^2 \\ 169=h^2 \\ h=\sqrt[]{169} \\ h=13 \end{gathered}

The missing side measure is equal to 13.

Now that we have all sides of both triangles, we can construct any trigonometric relation for those angles.

The sine is the ratio between the opposite side and the hypotenuse, and the cosine is the ratio between the adjacent side and the hypotenuse, therefore, we have the following relations for our angles

\begin{gathered} \sin (\theta)=\frac{3}{5} \\ \cos (\theta)=\frac{4}{5} \\ \sin (y)=\frac{12}{13} \\ \cos (y)=\frac{5}{13} \end{gathered}

To calculate the sine and cosine of the sum

\begin{gathered} \sin (\theta+y) \\ \cos (\theta+y) \end{gathered}

We can use the following identities

\begin{gathered} \sin (A+B)=\sin A\cos B+\cos A\sin B \\ \cos (A+B)=\cos A\cos B-\sin A\sin B \end{gathered}

Using those identities in our problem, we're going to have

\begin{gathered} \sin (\theta+y)=\sin \theta\cos y+\cos \theta\sin y=\frac{3}{5}\cdot\frac{5}{13}+\frac{4}{5}\cdot\frac{12}{13}=\frac{63}{65} \\ \cos (\theta+y)=\cos \theta\cos y-\sin \theta\sin y=\frac{4}{5}\cdot\frac{5}{13}-\frac{3}{5}\cdot\frac{12}{13}=-\frac{16}{65} \end{gathered}
