Find sin(a+b) if tan(a)=7/24 where a is in the third quadrant
1 answer:
The complete question in the attached figure
we have that
tan a=7/24 a----> III quadrant
cos b=-12/13 b----> II quadrant
sin (a+b)=?
we know that
sin(a + b) = sin(a)cos(b) + cos(a)sin(b<span>)
</span>
step 1
find sin b
sin²b+cos²b=1------> sin²b=1-cos²b----> 1-(144/169)---> 25/169
sin b=5/13------> is positive because b belong to the II quadrant
step 2
Find sin a and cos a
tan a=7/24
tan a=sin a /cos a-------> sin a=tan a*cos a-----> sin a=(7/24)*cos a
sin a=(7/24)*cos a------> sin²a=(49/576)*cos²a-----> equation 1
sin²a=1-cos²a------> equation 2
equals 1 and 2
(49/576)*cos²a=1-cos²a---> cos²a*[1+(49/576)]=1----> cos²a*[625/576]=1
cos²a=576/625------> cos a=-24/25----> is negative because a belong to III quadrant
cos a=-24/25
sin²a=1-cos²a-----> 1-(576/625)----> sin²a=49/625
sin a=-7/25-----> is negative because a belong to III quadrant
step 3
find sin (a+b)
sin(a + b) = sin(a)cos(b) + cos(a)sin(b)
sin a=-7/25
cos a=-24/25
sin b=5/13
cos b=-12/13
so
sin (a+b)=[-7/25]*[-12/13]+[-24/25]*[5/13]----> [84/325]+[-120/325]
sin (a+b)=-36/325
the answer is
sin (a+b)=-36/325
we have that
tan a=7/24 a----> III quadrant
cos b=-12/13 b----> II quadrant
sin (a+b)=?
we know that
sin(a + b) = sin(a)cos(b) + cos(a)sin(b<span>)
</span>
step 1
find sin b
sin²b+cos²b=1------> sin²b=1-cos²b----> 1-(144/169)---> 25/169
sin b=5/13------> is positive because b belong to the II quadrant
step 2
Find sin a and cos a
tan a=7/24
tan a=sin a /cos a-------> sin a=tan a*cos a-----> sin a=(7/24)*cos a
sin a=(7/24)*cos a------> sin²a=(49/576)*cos²a-----> equation 1
sin²a=1-cos²a------> equation 2
equals 1 and 2
(49/576)*cos²a=1-cos²a---> cos²a*[1+(49/576)]=1----> cos²a*[625/576]=1
cos²a=576/625------> cos a=-24/25----> is negative because a belong to III quadrant
cos a=-24/25
sin²a=1-cos²a-----> 1-(576/625)----> sin²a=49/625
sin a=-7/25-----> is negative because a belong to III quadrant
step 3
find sin (a+b)
sin(a + b) = sin(a)cos(b) + cos(a)sin(b)
sin a=-7/25
cos a=-24/25
sin b=5/13
cos b=-12/13
so
sin (a+b)=[-7/25]*[-12/13]+[-24/25]*[5/13]----> [84/325]+[-120/325]
sin (a+b)=-36/325
the answer is
sin (a+b)=-36/325

I did my best, but it has been a while. I really hope that this helps
Step-by-step explanation:
so you can find the perimeter of a circle
-----The perimeter of a circle is π × d where d is the diameter so half of that is 1/2 π × d. But If you are going to walk around a semicircle, you need to go halfway around the circle and then across a diagonal to get back to where you started, so the perimeter is 1/2 π × d + d.
