Question

Trigonometry:

If sin Θ = 5/6, what are the values of cos Θ and tan Θ?

A. cos Θ = ±11/36; tan Θ = ±1/11

B. cos Θ = ± √11/6; tan Θ = -1/11

C. cos Θ = ±11/6; tan Θ = -5/11

D. cos Θ = ± √11/6; tan Θ = ± 5√11/11

Answer 1

SOHCAHTOA.... Form the triangle and use the information that sin theta = 5/6 to figure out the corresponding sides of that triangle.... Solve for the missing side... put it together and presto your done.

Answer 2

SOHCAHTOA sin opposite over hypotenuse cosine adjacent over hypotenuse tangent opposite over adjacent

Answer 3

"and presto you're done" LMAO

Answer 4

Yes, I know SOH CAH TOA. I'm just not sure how to start this problem

Answer 5

:D yea sorry I am reminiscing about the good old days

Answer 6

I'll try drawing it 1 sec.

Answer 7

How would I solve for the missing side?

Answer 8

Cos (adjacent / hypotenuse )

Answer 9

Ahh but we need a number there in order to use that definition right? Otherwise its cos theta = ? / 6

Answer 10

Ok what do we know about the triangle that.... darn I didnt draw it in... shame on me.

Answer 11

omg you crack me up...
