Sin theta= -2/4 
Find all six trigonometric figures.

What does it mean by trigonometric figures? ratios?

agent0smith · Answer

$$\Large \sin \theta = -\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }$$ which we can use to find theta. Sine is negative in the third and fourth quadrants so the angle lies there...

Or do you mean figures as in like you want to find cos, tan, and then inverse of all of those?

anonymous · Answer

Yes find tan, cos, csc,cot and sec

Okay well the easiest way is to just draw the triangle, label your sides (be sure to use a^2+b^2=c^2 to solve for the third side), and then using, SOHCAHTOA, find the trig figures! :)

@kaylie94 exactly. But we don't know WHICH quadrant the angle lies in, so we can't know for sure if the other functions are positive or negative :/

was there no other info?

anonymous · Answer

Hmm this is true. The hypotenuse should be the biggest side (therefore the biggest number), no?
