Question

Express sin A,cos A and tan A as ratios

Answer 1

Answer:

Part A) $sin(A)=\frac{2\sqrt{42}}{23}$

Part B) $cos(A)=\frac{19}{23}$

Part C) $tan(A)=\frac{2\sqrt{42}}{19}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) we know that

In the right triangle ABC of the figure the sine of angle A is equal to divide the opposite side angle A by the hypotenuse

so

$sin(A)=\frac{BC}{AB}$

substitute the values

$sin(A)=\frac{2\sqrt{42}}{23}$

Part B) we know that

In the right triangle ABC of the figure the cosine of angle A is equal to divide the adjacent side angle A by the hypotenuse

so

$cos(A)=\frac{AC}{AB}$

substitute the values

$cos(A)=\frac{19}{23}$

Part C) we know that

In the right triangle ABC of the figure the tangent of angle A is equal to divide the opposite side angle A by the adjacent side angle A

so

$tan(A)=\frac{BC}{AC}$

substitute the values

$tan(A)=\frac{2\sqrt{42}}{19}$
