If cos(x)=1/4 what is sin(x) and tan(x)

Mathematics

You can use the identity
  cos(x)² +sin(x)² = 1
to find sin(x) from cos(x) or vice versa.

  (1/4)² +sin(x)² = 1
  sin(x)² = 1 - 1/16
  sin(x) = ±(√15)/4


Then the tangent can be computed as the ratio of sine to cosine.
  tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x) = (±(√15)/4)/(1/4)
  tan(x) = ±√15


There are two possible answers.
In the first quadrant:
  sin(x) = (√15)/4
  tan(x) = √15

In the fourth quadrant:
  sin(x) = -(√15)/4
  tan(x) = -√15

tester [92]
Choices: <span>A. 16/9 B. 4/3 C. 32/9 D. 64/27</span>

Given:
number of pints used for larger chest = 16 pints
number of pints used for smaller chest = 9 pints

Ratio of the volume of the larger chest compared to the smaller chest.

We will use the number of pints used in lieu of the volume of each chest.

16 / 9 is the ratio. Choice A.
