OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use the Pythagorean therom to determine the length of the other side and then you can use the definitions for sin and cos. or use the definition of tan use the opposite and adjacent sides to determine the angle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in this case \[\tan \theta=(6/7)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\theta=\tan ^{-1}(6/7)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry should be tan ^-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

soh means \[\sin \theta=opposite/hypotenuse\] cah means \[\cos \theta=adjacent/hypotenuse \] tah means \[\tan \theta=adjacent/opposite\] its a way to remember the definitions of sin cos and tan. |dw:1360591964471:dw|
