The value of sine theta = negative eight-seventeenths ⇒ 2nd
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us revise the quadrant of an angle its terminal side passes through a given point
- If the given point is (x , y), then the angle lies in the 1st quadrant
- If the given point is (-x , y), then the angle lies in the 2nd quadrant
- If the given point is (-x , -y), then the angle lies in the 3rd quadrant
- If the given point is (x , -y), then the angle lies in the 4th quadrant
∵ The terminal side of angle Ф passes through P (15 , -8)
∵ x = 15 and y = -8
- P is (x , -y), then the angle Ф lies in the 4th quadrant
∵ The terminal side of angle Ф is the hypotenuse of a right
triangle whose horizontal leg is 15 units and vertical leg
is -8 units
- Use Pythagoras Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse
∴ Hypotenuse = units
∵ sinФ =
∵ The side opposite to Ф is -8
∵ The hypotenuse is 17
∴ sinФ =
The value of sine theta = negative eight-seventeenths
