If cos Θ = square root 2 over 2 and 3 pi over 2 < Θ < 2π, what are the values of sin Θ and tan Θ?
Can u just type it as equation

Yeah, sorry. Here's a screenshot.
Like I know what the actual answer is, I just don't know how to get it.
@sheelo_mughal
draw a diagram
Did the screenshot not load? @sourwing
If I drew it you wouldn't be able to tell what it was.
It loaded, which quadrant is theta in?
It doesn't say, but if I look at my trig graph paper it looks like it's in either I or IV cause it's between 3pi/2 and 2pi
between 3pi/2 and 2pi is the IV quadrant. |dw:1402437184733:dw|
what is the length of the missing side?
Is it \[\sqrt{2}\] ??
That's what I get if I solve a^2+b^2=c^2
What is the sign of the tangent function in quadrant IV? What is the sign of the sine function in quadrant IV? If you know that you can solve by inspection.
it's -sqrt(2) since theta is in the 4th quadrant
