Question

Right △EFG has its right angle at F, EG=8 , and FG=2 .

Answer 1

Answer:

Tan E = 2 / 7.75

Sin G = 7.75 / 8

Sec G = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the attached document for better illustration of the triangle

Assuming the hypothenus of the triangle is 8 = EG since it's the longest side of the triangle.

FG = 2 = opposite side of the triangle.

We can use pythagorean theorem to find the adjacent of the triangle since we already know two sides.

EG² = FG² + EF²

EF² = EG² - FG²

EF² = 8² - 2²

EF² = 64 - 4

EF² = 60

EF = √(60)

EF = 7.7459 = 7.75

To find the respective trignometric ratio, we can use the relation SOH CAH TOA

Sine = opposite / hypothenus

Cosine = adjacent/ hypothenus

Tangent = opposite/ adjacent

A. tan E

Tan E = opposite/ adjacent

Tan E = 2 / 7.75

Tan E = 0.2580

B. Sin G = opposite / hypothenus

Sin G = 7.75 / 8

Sin G = 0.9687

C. Sec G = 1 / cos G

Cos G = adjacent / hypothenus

Sec G = 1 / (adjacent / hypothenus)

Sec G = hypothenus/ adjacent

Sec G = 8 / 2

Sec G = 4
