Answer: option 3 is the correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us look at the various trigonometric ratios
Sin Ф = opposite side/ hypotenuse
Cos Ф = adjacent side / hypotenuse
Tan Ф = opposite side / adjacent side
Therefore, tan Ф = sin Ф / cos Ф
This means that if cos Ф=-8/17 and sin Ф is negative, then the hypotenuse is negative
To determine the adjacent side, we will apply Pythagoras theorem
Hypotenuse ^2 = opposite ^2 + adjacent ^2
-17^2 = 8^2 + adjacent^2
adjacent^2 = 289 - 64 = 225
adjacent = √225 = 15
tan Ф = 8/15
Step-by-step explanation:
I didn't need the other angles, but right of the bat you can tell it's two right triangles back to back.
<em>y </em> has to be 90° , as you have noticed they already gave you 70° on the right side of the shape meaning if you were to add 90 which is why plus 70 what would that give you? 160.
the total interior for a triangles angles has to be 180°. if you do the math 180 - 160 you get the leftover 20° for x.
I suck at explaining stuff, hope this helps
