Answer:

#1.)so tan θ = 1 / (-2
√(2)) = -
√(2)/2

and cos θ = - 2
√(2)

#2.)

sin θ = -root(2)/root(3) = - root(6) /3 = -
√(6)/3

cos θ = -
√(3)/3

tan θ =
√(2)

Explanation:

1.) we know sin(θ) = 1/3

and tan θ < 0

so to find cosθ and tan θ

if tan θ < 0, then θ is is either quadrant 2 or 4. since sine is positive, θ must be in quadrant 2

so ...opposite side length= 1 , hypotenuse = 3, adjacent leg = root(3^2 - 1)

adjacent leg = - 2
√(2)

so tan θ = 1 / (-2
√(2)) = -
√(2)/2

and cos θ = - 2
√(2)

2.) (cos θ)^2 = 1/3

cos θ = - 1/root(3)

but θ is in quadrant 4,

triangle here hypotenuse = root(3) ,

adjacent leg= -1,

opposite leg =root( (root(3))^2 - 1 ) = root(3 - 1) = -root(2)

so

sin θ = -root(2)/root(3) = - root(6) /3 = -
√(6)/3

cos θ = -
√(3)/3

tan θ =
√(2)

sin
