Trigonometry. Sketch a right triangle corresponding to the trigonometric function of the acute angle theta. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine the third side and then find the other five trigonometric functions of theta. sin theta = 3/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got the six total functions, but I have no idea how to draw the triangle. I got sin theta = 3/8, cos theta = sqrt(55)/8, tan theta = 3/sqrt(55), csc theta = 8/3, sec theta = 8/sqrt(55), cot theta = sqrt (55)/8

Draw a triangle for \(sin \theta\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I guess, I'm honestly not sure what the question is asking me to do lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Luigi0210 i got those six functions so should i be able to sketch a triangle by that?

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

You could draw a triangle just by using sin.. |dw:1395962871046:dw| Pretend that's a perfect right triangle >_> But yea.. \(\LARGE sin \theta=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} \)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol okay, thank you! :D

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

For this instance.. using where theta is at.. |dw:1395962989542:dw|

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

So.. |dw:1395963043276:dw| And yea, there's you're triangle :l You're welcome~
