Find the cosine ratio of angle Θ. Hint: Use the slash symbol ( / ) to represent the fraction bar and enter the fraction with no spaces.

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: we can write: \[\large 3 = 5 \times \cos \theta \]

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

SOH CAH TOA CAH cos=adjacent side/ hypotenuse sub in the corrresponding values for your cos ratio

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 3/5?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that will be my answer for all of these types of questions? @Michele_Laino @acxbox22

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

3/5 is correct :)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

as @acxbox22 has wrote, your answer is \[\large \frac{{adjacent\;side}}{{hypotenuse}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But lets say it asked me for the Tangent ratio of the angle? what would i do then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

in that case we can write: \[\large 4 = 3 \times \tan \theta \]

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

remember SOH CAH TOA

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you explain the SOH CAH TOA

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

\[\large 12 = 5 \times \tan \theta \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nevermind I understand thank you guys

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

Sine=opposite/hypotenuse Cosine=adjacent/hypotenuse Tangent=opposite/adjacent

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

thank you!
