Answer:
A ≈ 119.7°, b ≈ 25.7, C ≈ 24.3°
Step-by-step explanation:
A suitable app or calculator does this easily. (Since you're asking here, you're obviously not unwilling to use technology to help.)
_____
Given two sides and the included angle, the Law of Cosines can help you find the third side.
... b² = a² + c² - 2ac·cos(B)
... b² = 38² + 18² -2·38·18·cos(36°) ≈ 661.26475
... b ≈ 25.715
Then the Law of Sines can help you find the other angles. It can work well to find the smaller angle first (the one opposite the shortest side). That way, you can tell if the larger angle is obtuse or acute.
... sin(C)/c = sin(B)/b
... C = arcsin(c/b·sin(B)) ≈ 24.29515°
This angle and angle B add to less than 90°, so the remaining angle is obtuse. (∠A can also be found as 180° - ∠B - ∠C.)
... A = arcsin(a/b·sin(B)) ≈ 119.70485°

Answer:
- sin(x) = 1
- cos(x) = 0
- cot(x) = 0
- csc(x) = 1
- sec(x) = undefined
Step-by-step explanation:
The tangent function can be considered to be the ratio of the sine and cosine functions:
tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x)
It will be undefined where cos(x) = 0. The values of x where that occurs are odd multiples of π. The smallest such multiple is x=π/2. The value of the sine function there is positive: sin(π/2) = 1.
The corresponding trig function values are ...
tan(x) = undefined (where sin(x) >0)
sin(x) = 1
cos(x) = 0
__
And the reciprocal function values at x=π/2 are ...
cot(x) = 0 . . . . . . 1/tan(x)
csc(x) = 1 . . . . . . .1/sin(x)
sec(x) = undefined . . . . . 1/cos(x)
