Geometry problem, in comments, really short!

Remember the identity that: \[ \cos^2(\theta)+\sin^2(\theta)=1 \]Rearranging gives us: \[ \sin(\theta)=\sqrt{1-\cos^2(\theta)} \]Try using that to figure out one from the other.

I got \[\sqrt{29}/7\]

OpenStudy (ghazi):

no it would be 3/7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm getting \[ \sin \theta=\frac{3}{7} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

agreed, but plus or minus in front

OpenStudy (ghazi):

\[\sin \theta= \sqrt{1-40/49}= \sqrt{\frac{ 49-40 }{ 49 }}=\sqrt {\frac{ 9 }{ 49 }}=\frac{ 3 }{ 7 }\]

I felt someone had to say that, but, yes.
