Answer 1

√7 / 4

Explanation:

Trigonometrical identity are used to show the relationship between the sides and angles of a right angled triangle. Some trigonometric identities are:

sinΘ = opposite / hypotenuse, cosΘ = adjacent / hypotenuse, tanΘ = opposite / adjacent.

Given that cosΘ = 3 / 4

Therefore, cosΘ = adjacent / hypotenuse = 3 / 4

adjacent = 3, hypotenuse = 4. Let x be the opposite side, to get the opposite side, we use Pythagoras theorem:

opposite² + adjacent² = hypotenuse²

x² + 3² = 4²

x² + 9 = 16

x² = 7

x = √7

sinΘ = opposite/hypotenuse = √7 / 4
