You’re so smart, I love questions like this. Hopefully you can solve it so I can know too!
Associative property Says that you can add or multiply regardless of how the numbers are group
Answer:
Sin, Cos, Tan and others are used to calculate the ratios of the sides of a right angled triangle by taking a certain angle as the angle of reference.
On the other hand, Sin‐¹, Cos‐¹ and Tan-¹ are used to find the reference angle used to calculate the ratio of sides.
For this question,
we need to find which option should used to calculate the angle the slide makes with the vertical support.
So the option will have to be either A, C or E.
here, the base is 2.81m and hypotenuse is 3.64m.
we know, Cos = base / hypotenuse
So the angle is given by Cos-¹(2.81/3.64)
Option C
The correct answer is B.
Determine and recall first the trigonometric functions:
Sin A = Opposite/Hypotenuse
Cos A = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
Tangent = Opposite/Adjacent
If for example we try to take an angle, for example the Y, then Y is opposite Y. The Hypotenuse will be the longer side which is going to denoted by X and the next side will be Adjacent which will be denoted by Z.
Use this test to answer:
Sin Y = Y/X
where:
Y = opposite
X = hypotenuse
Cos (90 - y) = cos (90 - 50) = cos 40
where Z = 40
we look for cos Z = Y/X
Therefore,
Sin Y = Cos (90 - Y)
