Sin A = opposite / hypotenuse 

If angle A is in the first quadrant, that means both x and y coordinate are positive.

Now you can draw triangle. Since sinA = 1/3, opposite side may be 1, so then hypotenuse side must be 3.

Now you can use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the length of adjacent side:

a² + b² = c²
1 + b² = 9
b² = 8
b = 2√2

So adjacent side is 2√2.

So now we can solve for cosA:

cosA = adjacent / hypotenuse = 2√2 / 3

Final answer: 2√2 / 3

1 - 3x = 3x + 1 solve for x
lakkis [162]

Answer: x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

1 - 3x = 3x + 1

then add 3x on both sides

1 = 6x + 1

then subtract 1 on both sides

0 = 6x

then divide by 6 on both sides

0 = x

so x = 0
