Answer:

C. Ismail used the wrong sides in his ratio for cos (90 - θ)

Step-by-step explanation:

All steps correct apart from:

cos (90° - θ) = AC/BC

It should be

cos (90° - θ) = AB/BC

Correct choice is C

If the test is worth 50 and you score 84% how many questions did you get wrong? Write the proportion?

quester [9]

You got 8 questions wrong.

10% of 50 is 5.

________________
80% of 50 is 40.
84% of 50 is 42.

50-42= 8 questions wrong.

How do you do this trig problem.

loris [4]

Consider a right triangle in which one of the angles $\theta$ satisfies

$\sin\theta=\dfrac35\implies\theta=\sin^{-1}\dfrac35$

That is, the side opposite $\theta$ occurs in a ratio of 3 to 5 with the hypotenuse. The side adjacent to $\theta$ then occurs in a ratio of 4 to 5 with the hypotenuse. In other words,

$\cos\theta=\dfrac45$

because

$\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=\dfrac9{25}+\dfrac{16}{25}=1$

Then in this triangle,

$\cot\theta=\cot\left(\sin^{-1}\dfrac35\right)=\dfrac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}=\dfrac{\frac45}{\frac35}=\dfrac43$
