Fatima wants to find the value of sine theta, given cotangent theta = four-sevenths. which identity would be best for fatima to use? cosine theta = startfraction 1 over secant theta endfraction sine squared theta cosine squared theta = 1 cosecant theta = startfraction r over y endfraction

Answer:

Explanation:

From the right triangle with cot theta = 4/7 = (adjacent side / opposite side), Fatima can find the length of the hypotenuse using Pythagoras. This gives a value of 8.0823. So cos theta = 4 / 8.0823 = 0,49614,

Then she could find the values of sin theta using

sine squared theta + cos squared theta = 1.
