Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
A right triangle has side lengths a, b, and c
Because you did not attached photo of the right triangle so I will assume that:
- Side a is the adjacent (A)
- Side b is the opposite (O)
- Side c is the hypotenuse (H)
(Please have a look at the attached photo)
To solve for the trigonometric functions of x, we need to recall the ratios they represent as shown below.
EX: the sine of x is equal to the side opposite of angle x over the hypotenuse. Hence, we have the expressions of the trigonometric functions as shown below:
