Question

If i know that cos feta = 0.93, how do I solve for sin feta and tan feta?

Answer 1

get to know this fact from trigonometry:
(sinx)^2 + (cosx)^2 = 1

so if you want sinx, then solve for it in the equation above.

Answer 2

to get tanx, just use the defnition:

tanx = sinx/cosx

Answer 3

okay i will try that, thanks for your help

Answer 4

do you have an answer?

Answer 5

Yes I got sinx=0.3676 and tanx=0.3952

Answer 6

now I'm stuck on another problem. I am trying to figure out how to do this: Given a right triangle where cosx=0.06 and the length of the leg opposite the angle in question is 5m, what is the length of the hypotenuse? Do you know how I can go about solving this?
