Question

Homework 18.1.-trigonometric ratios

Find the 3 trigonometric ratios. If needed, reduce fractions.

Answer 1

Explanation:

rotate the triangle in your mind (or as actual picture on your phone or computer), so that the right angle is the bottom right or bottom left, and C being the opposite bottom angle.

then we see

28 = cos(C) × 35

21 = sin(C) × 35

and so,

sin(C) = 21/35 = 3/5

cos(C) = 28/35 = 4/5

tan(C) = sin(C)/cos(C) = 3/5 / 4/5 = 3/4
