Anytime you have a triangle (right triangles are preferred) where at least 2 angle measures and 1 side is known. Or, at least two sides and 1 angle measure.
OR..... 3 sides or three angles are known. So, sines or cosines could be used at almost anytime to find the sides and angles of a triangle!
cos θ =
, sin θ =
, cot θ = 4/7, sec θ =
, cosec θ = 
<h3>What are trigonometric ratios?</h3>
Trigonometric Ratios are values of all the trigonometric functions based on the value of the ratio of sides in a right-angled triangle.
Sin θ: Opposite Side to θ/Hypotenuse
Tan θ: Opposite Side/Adjacent Side & Sin θ/Cos
Cos θ: Adjacent Side to θ/Hypotenuse
Sec θ: Hypotenuse/Adjacent Side & 1/cos θ
Analysis:
tan θ = opposite/adjacent = 7/4
opposite = 7, adjacent = 4.
we now look for the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle
hypotenuse =
=
= 
sin θ = opposite/ hyp = 
Rationalize,
x
= 
But θ is in the third quadrant(180 - 270) and in the third quadrant only tan and cot are positive others are negative.
Therefore, sin θ = - 
cos θ = adj/hyp = 
By rationalizing and knowing that cos θ is negative, cos θ = -
cot θ = 1/tan θ = 1/7/4 = 4/7
sec θ = 1/cos θ = 1/
= -
cosec θ = 1/sin θ = 1/

Answer:
<em>x = 8/3</em>
<em>Alternative form</em>
<em>x = 2 2/3, x = 2.6</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
First, simplify the equation using cross-multiplication
3x = 8
then divide both sides of the equation by 3 and there's your answer
<em>x = 8/3</em>
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given:

[∵
]
Squaring both sides.

[∵
]
Adding 1 to both sides.


[Taking LCD=9 and adding fractions ]
Taking square root both sides.

∴
