Answer:

Cos(x) = sqrt(55) / 8; tan(x) = 3/sqrt(55)

Explanation:

Sine is opposite over hypotenuse. So we get that the opposite is 3 and the hypotenuse is 8. To find the adjacent (which we'll need for cosine and tangent), we can use pythagoras' theorem. Therefore, 8^2 = 3^2 + A^2, where A is the adjacent. A then must equal sqrt(64-9) = sqrt(55).

Cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse, which is then sqrt(55) / 8. Tangent is opposite over adjacent, which is then 3 / sqrt(55) or (sqrt55)*3/55
