Find sin0, cos0, tan0
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

sin(θ) = 12/13, cos(θ) = 5/13, tan(θ) = 12/5

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find sine, cosine, and tangent of theta for this triangle.

First, define the different trigonometric functions:

- sine is opposite side to the angle divided by the hypotenuse (longest side not adjacent to the 90 degree angle)

- cosine is the adjacent side next to the angle divided by the hypotenuse

- tangent is the opposite side to the angle divided by the adjacent side

Now, look at theta (θ):

- the opposite side is marked 12

- the adjacent side is marked 5

- the hypotenuse is marked 13

So:

- sin(θ) = opposite / hypotenuse = 12/13

- cos(θ) = adjacent / hypotenuse = 5/13

- tan(θ) = opposite / adjacent = 12/5

Thus the answers are: sin(θ) = 12/13, cos(θ) = 5/13, tan(θ) = 12/5.
