@Euler271 need help with this problem i did one similar did good on that but this one idk?

anonymous · Answer

for sin i get 1 and for cos i get 0 am i doing this right?

I drew a graphic. 
I'm guessing if the angle passes through the point (1.732, 2) then the angle 
would equal the arc tangent of 2/1.732 = 1.1547344111 = 49.107 degrees.

I changed the graphic to add the labels opp, adj and hyp.

i've got that so far but not sure as to what to do. like round 1.73 to 4 for the radius and then do square root 2^2-2^2=0 ?

wolf1728 · Answer

Well according to my graphic, it seems (to me) that you would have to solve for sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant and cosecant of 49.107 degrees.

anonymous · Answer

i meant 4^2-2^2=12

anonymous · Answer

yes i would

wolf1728 · Answer

Wouldn't the hypotenuse² equal 1.732² + 2²? 
And hypotenuse = sqrt (7) or about 2.646.

anonymous · Answer

the way you set it up looks right but the answer you have is not what i have but you could be right and i could be wrong

wolf1728 · Answer

I'm guessing that you would have to find the value for all 6 trigonometric functions for 49.107 degrees ?

I'll be away from the keyboard for a while.  (Taking my dog for a walk.)

Ok
