Vocaloid (vocaloid):

hint: tan(B) = sin(B)/cos(B)

OpenStudy (albert0898):

I did that already and am not getting any of the answers provided

OpenStudy (albert0898):

If tan B = 9/13 and sin B = 9/13, then cos B = ?

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

From @Vocaloid's hint, \[\tan(\theta) = \frac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)} \qquad \implies \qquad \cos(\theta) = \frac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)} \]

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Just plug in your values and solve, simple

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

whoop, made a typo

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

\[\cos(\theta) = \frac{\sin(\theta)}{\tan(\theta)}\]

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

actually I think there's a typo in the question, cos(B) = 1

OpenStudy (albert0898):

Using that formula yields me an answers that is not provided

OpenStudy (albert0898):

*answer

OpenStudy (albert0898):

I've tried every formula today and I don't get any answer that resembles any option OpenStudy was my last resort lol

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

you're right, it seems theres a typo in the question

Nnesha (nnesha):

weird question i guess we should use logic here LOL \[\rm sin \rm \theta = \frac{ opposite }{ hypotenuse }~~~~ \cos \theta = \frac{ adjacent }{ hypotenuse } ~~\tan \theta = \frac{ opposite }{ adjacent }\] and we know hypotenuse is the longest side of right triangle cos = adjacent /hyp adjacent must be less than hyp|dw:1443408580125:dw|
