Answer:

Part a)
sin(U)=0.87

Part b)
cos(U)=0.50

Part c)
tan(U)=1.73

Explanation:

step 1

we know that

In the right triangle UST

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

Find the length side UT


UT^(2)=(√(37))^(2)+(√(111))^(2)


UT^(2)=37+111


UT=√(148)\ units

step 2

Find the sin(U)

we know that

The sine of angle U is the opposite side angle U divided by the hypotenuse


sin(U)=(ST)/(UT)

substitute the values


sin(U)=(√(111))/(√(148))=0.87

step 3

Find the cos(U)

we know that

The cosine of angle U is the adjacent side angle U divided by the hypotenuse


cos(U)=(US)/(UT)

substitute the values


cos(U)=(√(37))/(√(148))=0.50

step 4

Find the tan(U)

we know that

The tangent of angle U is the opposite side angle U divided by the adjacent side angle U


tan(U)=(ST)/(US)

substitute the values


tan(U)=(√(111))/(√(37))=1.73

Hello!

The answer is:


Sin(u)=0.86\\Cos(u)=0.50\\Tan(u)=1.73

Why?

Since it's a right triangle, and we have the adjacent and opposite sides size (
√(37)), we can solve it using following the next steps:

Tan(u),

We can find the tangent using the following formula:


tan(u)=(OppositeSide)/(AdjacentSide)= (√(111) )/(√(37))=(10.54)/(6.08)\\tan(u)=1.73

Sin(u),

To find the sin(u) we need first to find the hypotenuse of the triangle using the Pythagorean Theorem, so:


c=\sqrt{a^(2)+b^(2)}

Where:


c=hypotenuse\\a=FirstTriangleSide\\b=SecondTriangleSide

Substituting we have:


hypotenuse=\sqrt{√(37)^(2)+√(111)^(2)}


hypotenuse=√(37+111)=√(148)=12.17

Then, we can calculate the sin(u) using the following formula:


Sin(u)(OppositeSide)/(Hypotenuse)=(√(111) )/(12.17)=0.86

Finally, we can calculate the cos(u) by using the following formula:

Cos(u),


cos(u)=(AdjacentSide)/(Hypotenuse)=(√(37) )/(12.17)=0.50

Hence,

We have that:


Sin(u)=0.86\\Cos(u)=0.50\\Tan(u)=1.73

Have a nice day!
