Question

Measure the lengths of the sides of ∆ABC in GeoGebra, and compute the sine and the cosine of ∠A and ∠B. Verify your calculations by finding the sine and cosine of ∠A and ∠B using a calculator

Answer 1

Answer:

$Sin \angle A =0.80$

$Cos \angle A=0.60$

$Sin \angle B =0.60$

$Cos \angle B=0.80$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

I will answer this question using the attached triangle

Solving (a): Sine and Cosine A

In trigonometry:

$Sin \theta =\frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}$ and

$Cos \theta =\frac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse}$

So:

$Sin \angle A =\frac{BC}{BA}$

Substitute values for BC and BA

$Sin \angle A =\frac{8cm}{10cm}$

$Sin \angle A =\frac{8}{10}$

$Sin \angle A =0.80$

$Cos \angle A=\frac{AC}{BA}$

Substitute values for AC and BA

$Cos \angle A=\frac{6cm}{10cm}$

$Cos \angle A=\frac{6}{10}$

$Cos \angle A=0.60$

Solving (b): Sine and Cosine B

In trigonometry:

$Sin \theta =\frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}$ and

$Cos \theta =\frac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse}$

So:

$Sin \angle B =\frac{AC}{BA}$

Substitute values for AC and BA

$Sin \angle B =\frac{6cm}{10cm}$

$Sin \angle B =\frac{6}{10}$

$Sin \angle B =0.60$

$Cos \angle B=\frac{BC}{BA}$

Substitute values for BC and BA

$Cos \angle B=\frac{8cm}{10cm}$

$Cos \angle B=\frac{8}{10}$

$Cos \angle B=0.80$

Using a calculator:

$A = 53^{\circ}$

So:

$Sin(53^{\circ}) =0.7986$

$Sin(53^{\circ}) =0.80$ -- approximated

$Cos(53^{\circ}) = 0.6018$

$Cos(53^{\circ}) = 0.60$ -- approximated

$B = 37^{\circ}$

So:

$Sin(37^{\circ}) = 0.6018$

$Sin(37^{\circ}) = 0.60$ --- approximated

$Cos(37^{\circ}) = 0.7986$

$Cos(37^{\circ}) = 0.80$ --- approximated

Answer 2

Answer:

Lengths

AB = 13

BC = 5

AC = 12

A Sin = 0.38 A Cos = 0.92

B sin = 0.92 B Cos = 0.38
