Question

Directions: Find the indicated trigonometric ratio as a fraction in simplest form. 1. Sin L =

Answer 1

Answer:

$\sin L = 0.60$

$tan\ N = 1.33$

$\cos L = 0.80$

$\sin N = 0.80$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment

From the attachment, we have:

$MN = 6$

$LN = 10$

First, we need to calculate length LM,

Using Pythagoras theorem:

$LN^2 = MN^2 + LM^2$

$10^2 = 6^2 + LM^2$

$100 = 36 + LM^2$

Collect Like Terms

$LM^2 = 100 - 36$

$LM^2 = 64$

$LM = 8$

Solving (a): $\sin L$

$\sin L = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}$

$\sin L = \frac{MN}{LN}$

Substitute values for MN and LN

$\sin L = \frac{6}{10}$

$\sin L = 0.60$

Solving (b): $tan\ N$

$tan\ N = \frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}$

$tan\ N = \frac{LM}{MN}$

Substitute values for LM and MN

$tan\ N = \frac{8}{6}$

$tan\ N = 1.33$

Solving (c): $\cos L$

$\cos L = \frac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse}$

$\cos L = \frac{LM}{LN}$

Substitute values for LN and LM

$\cos L = \frac{8}{10}$

$\cos L = 0.80$

Solving (d): $\sin N$

$\sin N = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}$

$\sin N = \frac{LM}{LN}$

Substitute values for LM and LN

$\sin N = \frac{8}{10}$

$\sin N = 0.80$
