Question

Use the image below to answer the following question. Find the value of sin x° and cos y°. What relationship do the ratios of sin x° and cos y° share?

A right triangle is shown with one leg measuring 4 and another leg measuring 3. One angle that is not 90 degrees is marked x and the other angle that is not 90 degrees is marked y.

Answer 3

as the triangle is a right angle triangle so by pythagoras theorem 4^2+3^2 = square of third side which gives the third side as 5

Answer 4

as sinx =perpendicular/hypotenuse => 4/5 = sinx ,
cosx = base/hypotenuse => 3/5 = cosx @Gabylovesyou

Answer 5

sinx/cosx = 4/3 =>3sinx = 4cosx

Answer 6

as the relation b/w sin and cos @Gabylovesyou

Answer 7

i got confused with the pythagorean theorem.. what that ?

Answer 8

4^2 + 3^2 = 25...

Answer 9

pythagoras says if u are given a right angle triangle then the sum of squares of the perpendicular and base of the triangle is always equal to the square of the hypotenuse @Gabylovesyou

Answer 10

how did u get 5 ????

Answer 11

i.e. perpendicular^2 + base^2 = hypotenuse^2
=> in your question p=4, b=3 so, 4^2 + 3^2 = H^2
which means h^2 = 25 and 25 = 5^2 which means hypotenuse = 5

Answer 13

u there @Gabylovesyou

Answer 14

ok

Answer 15

gud were u able to understand @Gabylovesyou

Answer 16

yes

Answer 17

great I was just listening to your song @Gabylovesyou and I wasn't jst able to understand ...

Answer 18

so they form the same ratio

Answer 19

thats the relationship .. right ?

@princeharryyy

Answer 21

hmmmm

Answer 22

what ratio ? u wanna say

Answer 23

sinx/cosx = 4/3 if u wanna say is correct @Gabylovesyou

Answer 24

correct ?

Answer 25

from the figure sinx = 3/5 and cosy = 3/5 and so you are correct @Gabylovesyou

Answer 26

and you are a fast learner @Gabylovesyou gud luck !!!! enjoy !!!! u deserve a medal toooo ....

Answer 27

thank you
