Answer:

tan A = -15/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

sin^2a = 1 - cos^2A

= 1 - (-8/17)^2

= 225/289

So sin A= 15/17

tan A = sin A / cos A

= 15/17 / -8/17

= 15/-8

= -15/8.

Which angle forms a y-coordinate on a unit circle of /~3/2 (square root of 3 over 2)

mixer [17]

Answer:

$\theta=60\degree$

$\theta=\frac{\pi}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the angle which forms a y-coordinate of $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}$

on the unit circle.

The y-coordinate on the unit circle is given by $\sin(\theta)$ .

This implies that $\sin(\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}$

$\Rightarrow \theta=\sin^{-1}(\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2})$

$\Rightarrow \theta=60\degree$

$\theta=\frac{\pi}{3}$
