cos B =
tan B =
sin B =
Step-by-step explanation:
In the right triangle, there are three sides and 2 acute angles
- Hypotenuse ⇒ the opposite side of the right angle
- Leg1 and Leg 2 ⇒ the sides of the right angle
The trigonometry functions of one of the acute angles Ф are
- sin Ф = opposite leg/hypotenuse
- cos Ф = adjacent leg/hypotenuse
- tan Ф = opposite leg/adjacent leg
In Δ ACB
∵ ∠C is the right angle
∴ AB is the hypotenuse
∵ AC is the opposite side of ∠B ⇒ leg1
∵ CB is the adjacent side of ∠B ⇒ leg2
→ By using the ratios above
∴ cos B = , tan B =
, sin B =
∵ CB = 7, AB = 25, AC = 24
∴ cos B =
∴ tan B =
∴ sin B =
