If sin Θ is positive and tan Θ is negative, then the angle should be in the second quadrant using the rule of thumb. In this case, cos Θ is expected to be negative. Using the calculator, the answer is -0.7454. This is equivalent to option D. <span>negative square root of 5 over 3</span>

If sin Θ = 2 over 3 and tan Θ < 0, then the value of cos Θ = - (√5) / 3

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Firstly , let us learn about trigonometry in mathematics.

Suppose the ΔABC is a right triangle and ∠A is 90°.

<h3>sin ∠A = opposite / hypotenuse</h3><h3>cos ∠A = adjacent / hypotenuse</h3><h3>tan ∠A = opposite / adjacent </h3>

Let us now tackle the problem!

If \sin \theta = 2 / 3 , then :

\text{opposite = 2}

\text{hypotenuse = 3}

We can calculate adjacent by using Pythagorean theorem .

adjacent^2 = hypotenuse^2 - opposite^2

adjacent^2 = 3^2 - 2^2

adjacent^2 = 9 - 4

adjacent^2 = 5

adjacent = \sqrt{5}

Finally we can calculate the value of cos Θ in the following way :

\cos \theta = -\text{adjacent / hypotenuse}

\large {\boxed {\cos \theta = \frac{-\sqrt{5}}{3}} } }

We give a negative sign because tan Θ < 0, and this means the angle is between 90° and 180°

Jeanette is painting a rectangular wall that is 10 feet long 8 feet tall. There is a window that is 5 feet wide and 3 feet tall

65 feet squared.

8 times 10 is eighty, then you need to subtract 3 time 5 (which is 15), and that makes it 65 feet squared.

Find the value of y please!
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the two triangles are congruent you can set the two expressions equal to each other and solve from their.

step 1 )  8Y = 6Y + 8

step 2 ) isolate the variable to one side 8Y-6Y= 8 =>  2Y = 8

step 3 ) solve for Y 2Y/2 = 8/2

Solution Y=4
