Find the exact values of sin A and cos A. Write fractions in lowest terms
Can anybody help me with this? Thank you!
of "sinA and cosA" or of "the mesure of angles A and B"???
sinA and cosA
\[\sin A = \frac{ CB }{ AB } = \frac{ 8 }{ 10 } = 0.8\]
\[\cos A = \frac{ AC }{ AB } = \frac{ 6 }{ 10 } = 0.6\]
simplified it would be cosA = 4/5 and sinA = 3/5 correct?
sinA 4/5 and cosA 3/5 sorry my mistake
No!It's in correct!
well... These are the multiple choice answers that i hate... A. sinA = 4/3 ; cosA = 3/4 B. sinA = 5/4 ; cosA = 5/3 C. sinA = 3/5 ; cosA = 4/5 D. sinA = 4/5 ; cosA = 3/5
have*
so I think the multiple choices are incorrect,I'm sure that sinA=0.8 and cosA=0.6
The answer is to be in fraction form. One of the MC answers is equivalent to the decimals you are giving.
Yeah it must be in the lowest fraction term
OK, do you see the answer? Do you understand how to get it?
(You were correct above, I just want to make sure you are convinced of that, and understand WHY. :)
sorry I didn't see MC well and made mistake , D is correct :)
It should be D right? i had that answer the whole time but last time i submitted my work and put D for the answer, it was incorrect....
4/5 = 0.8 and 3/5 = 0.6
Okay, well at least im sure it should be D now. Thank you to both of you!
Yes, it's D. If it was the same triangle image, then that's a typo on the test's key. For that triangle, and those choices, the answer is D. :)
You know SOHCAHTOA, right? sin=opp/hyp cos=adj/hyp tan=opp/adj Can't go wrong. :)
