Answer:

\sin(\theta)=0.47 and \cos(\theta)=0.88.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Angle lies in first quadrant.

\tan\theta=\frac{8}{15}

Since, \tan\theta=\frac{\cos(\theta}{\sin(\theta)} this does not mean that \sin(\theta)=8 and  \cos(\theta)=15, because it is the ratio of the \sin(\theta) and \cos(\theta) which is not necessarily the exact values of them. And also \sin(\theta) and \cos(\theta) values lie between -1 \ to\ 1 and so it cannot be =8\ or\ 15.

In order to find the exact values, we need to find the exact angle.

\tan\theta=\frac{8}{15}

So,

\theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{8}{15})

\theta= 28.07\°   As the angle lies in 1st quadrant.

Using the angle \theta we can find the exact values for \sin(\theta) and \cos(\theta).

sin(28.07\°)=0.47

cos(28.07\°)=0.88

A 20 ft. ladder is used against a 15 ft. wall. What is the measure of the angle made by the ladder and the ground (nearest whole
Brrunno [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The length of a ladder, H = 20 feet

The height of the wall, h = 15 ft

We know that,

\sin\theta=\dfrac{h}{H}

h is perpendicular and H is hypotenuse

So,

\sin\theta=\dfrac{15}{20}\\\\\theta=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{15}{20})\\\\\theta=48.59^{\circ}

Now using Pythagoras theoerm,

b=\sqrt{H^2-h^2}\\\\b=\sqrt{20^2-15^2}\\\\b=13.2\ ft

Hence, the angle made by the ladder and the ground is 48.59° and the ladder is 13.2 feet from the wall on the ground.
