With θ in quadrant III, we expect to have both cosθ and sinθ negative. Then from the Pythagorean identity, we get

\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta=1\implies\sin\theta=-\sqrt{1-\cos^2\theta}=-\dfrac{\sqrt{35}}6

Then from the definition of tangent, that is

tanθ = sinθ / cosθ

we get

\tan\theta=\dfrac{-\frac{\sqrt{35}}6}{-\frac16}=\boxed{\sqrt{35}}

Mhanifa please help! Explain how you can use the perpendicular bisector of a segment to draw an isosceles triangle.
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

If you construct the perpendicular bisector of a line segment, every point on the perpendicular bisector will be the same distance from both point A and point B.

To construct an isosceles triangle, you can start from any point on the perpendicular bisector and draw line segments to point A and to point B
