Question

In a right triangle, CosA=0.352 and SinA=0.936 What is the approximate value of tanA?

Answer 1

`\tan A=(\sin A)/(\cos A)`

Proof:
`\sin/\cos=\frac{o}h/\frac{a}h=\frac{o}h*\frac{h}a=(oh)/(ha)=\frac{o}a=\tan`


`\cos A=0.352,\ \sin A=0.936`


`\tan A=(0.936)/(0.352)`


`\boxed{\tan A=2.65\overline{90}}` (round as needed)

Answer 2

tanA=2.659

Explanation:

We are given cosA=0.352 and sinA=0.936

We have to find the value of tanA

We know the formula for tanA

tanA=
`(sinA)/(cosA)`

Hence, tanA=
`(0.936)/(0.352)`

tanA=2.659

Hence, value for tanA is:

2.659
