In triangle JKL, tan(b°) = 3/4 and cos(b°) =4/5. If triangle JKL is dilated by a scale factor of 1/2, what is sin(b°)?

Answer:


\sin (b^\circ)=(3)/(5).

Explanation:

It is given that,


\tan (b^\circ)=(3)/(4)


\cos (b^\circ)=(4)/(5)

If a figure is dilated, then the image is similar to the figure. It means the corresponding angles of figure and image are congruent.

So, the value of sin(b°) after dilation is equal to the value of sin(b°) before dilation.

We know that,


(\sin \theta)/(\cos \theta)=\tan \theta


(\sin (b^\circ))/(\cos (b^\circ))=\tan (b^\circ)


\sin (b^\circ)=\tan (b^\circ)* \cos (b^\circ)


\sin (b^\circ)=(3)/(4)* (4)/(5)


\sin (b^\circ)=(3)/(5)

Therefore,
\sin (b^\circ)=(3)/(5).
