cosx=15/17 (adjacent/hypotenuse)

anonymous · Answer

explain please.

anonymous · Answer

A right triangle has three sides. the cosine = adjacent side/ hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle, which is on the opposite side of the right angle of the triangle.

anonymous · Answer

sine on the other hand = opposite angle/hypotenuse. By opposite I mean "opposite side to the angle" were dealing with.

okay thanks can you help me on one more

Look at the figure.If tan x°= a divided by 4 and cos x°=4 divided by b what is the value of sin x°?
sin x° = 4b

sin x°=a divided by b

sin x ̊= 4a

sin x°=b divided by a
