Question

Use the Pythagorean identities to determine if it is possible for a number to satisfy the given conditions. sin t=15/17 and cos t=8/17

Answer 1

Put angle t, opp=15 and hyp=17 in a right angled triangle

Answer 2

From cos t....adj= 8
The resulting triangle and its dimensions can be proven to be true using pythagoras' theorem

Answer 3

Does 8^2+15^2=17^2

Answer 4

If so, it is verified that the triangle can have the above conditions

Answer 5

yep
