Question

I already asked for help on this but no one helped me. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME NOW

Answer 1

see below

Explanation:

Find the missing leg:

`a^2+b^2=c^2\\ a^2+8^2=17^2\\ a^2=225\\ a=15`

Use SOHCAHTOA where O = side opposite to the angle, A = side adjacent to the angle, H = hypotenuse.

Therefore, for this triangle, O = 15, A = 8 and H = 17

`cos \theta=(A)/(H) =(8)/(17)`

`sec \theta=(1)/(cos \theta) =1` ÷
`(8)/(17) =(17)/(8)`

`cot \theta=(1)/(tan \theta) =1` ÷
`(O)/(A) =(A)/(O) =(8)/(15)`
