Answer:
53 lies between 7.2² and 7.3²
Step-by-step explanation:
Estimating a root to the nearest tenth can be done a number of ways. The method shown here is to identify the tenths whose squares bracket the value of interest.
You have answered the questions of parts 1 to 3.
__
<h3>4.</h3>You are given that ...
7.2² = 51.84
7.3² = 53.29
This means 53 lies between 7.2² and 7.3², so √53 lies between 7.2 and 7.3.
53 is closer to 7.3², so √53 will be closer to 7.3 than to 7.2.
7.3 is a good estimate of √53 to the tenths place.

<em>Additional comment</em>
For an integer n that is the sum of a perfect square (s²) and a remainder (r), the square root is between ...
s +r/(2s+1) < √n < s +r/(2s)
For n = 53 = 7² +4, this means ...
7 +4/15 < √53 < 7 +4/14
7.267 < √53 < 7.286
Either way, √53 ≈ 7.3.

Hi there! You have to remember these 6 basic Trigonometric Ratios which are:
- sine (sin) = opposite/hypotenuse
- cosine (cos) = adjacent/hypotenuse
- tangent (tan) = opposite/adjacent
- cosecant (cosec/csc) = hypotenuse/opposite
- secant (sec) = hypotenuse/adjacent
- cotangent (cot) = adjacent/opposite
- cosecant is the reciprocal of sine
- secant is the reciprocal of cosine
- cotangent is the reciprocal of tangent
Back to the question. Assuming that the question asks you to find the cosine, sine, cosecant and secant of angle theta.
What we have now are:
- Trigonometric Ratio
- Adjacent = 12
- Opposite = 10
Looks like we are missing the hypotenuse. Do you remember the Pythagorean Theorem? Recall it!
- a²+b² = c²
Define that c-term is the hypotenuse. a-term and b-term can be defined as adjacent or opposite
Since we know the value of adjacent and opposite, we can use the formula to find the hypotenuse.
- 10²+12² = c²
- 100+144 = c²
- 244 = c²
Thus, the hypotenuse is:
Now that we know all lengths of the triangle, we can find the ratio. Recall Trigonometric Ratio above! Therefore, the answers are:
- cosine (cosθ) = adjacent/hypotenuse = 12/(2√61) = 6/√61 = <u>(6√61) / 61</u>
- sine (sinθ) = opposite/hypotenuse = 10/(2√61) = 5/√61 = <u>(5√61) / 61</u>
- cosecant (cscθ) is reciprocal of sine (sinθ). Hence, cscθ = (2√61/10) = <u>√61/5</u>
- secant (secθ) is reciprocal of cosine (cosθ). Hence, secθ = (2√61)/12 = <u>√</u><u>61</u><u>/</u><u>6</u>
Questions can be asked through comment.
Furthermore, we can use Trigonometric Identity to find the hypotenuse instead of Pythagorean Theorem.
Hope this helps, and Happy Learning! :)
