If sin Θ = 2 over 7 and tan Θ > 0, what is the value of cos Θ?

OpenStudy (amorfide):

|dw:1429392231835:dw|

OpenStudy (amorfide):

we know those side lengths because sinx=o/h work out the missing side, then work out cosx except in this case x is theta

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would the missing side be 45?

OpenStudy (amorfide):

square root it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6.708

OpenStudy (amorfide):

\[a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2} \] remember pythagoras, gotta square root it

OpenStudy (amorfide):

I would leave your answer in surd form then you can write cosx as a fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, thank you!! My choices are A. 3(sqr root 5)/7 B. -3(sqr root 5)/7 C. 3(sqr root 5) D. -3(sqr root 5) It would be A right?

OpenStudy (amorfide):

yes well done
