2. The angle θ has the point (–2, 9) on its terminal side. What is the exact value of each of the following? (a) sin θ (b) cos θ (c) tan θ

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you draw a sketch of it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is no sketch

OpenStudy (mathmale):

The angle θ has the point (–2, 9) on its terminal side. What is the exact value of each of the following? The adj. side of this angles is -2; the opp. side is 9. What is the hypo? Use the Pyth. Them. Then the sine of this angle is opp / hyp. And so on.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just the words

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do I get that if the side length is negative?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

make the calculi so and than will result negativ so just will get in what quadran will be theta

OpenStudy (mathmale):

If the adjacent side is -2 and the opp. side is 9, then the Pyth. Thm. tells us that the hyp. is Sqrt( (-2)^2 + 9^2). Does this answer your question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the hypotenuse is 9.22?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Yes. or you could leave it as is, without changing it to a decimal fraaction. Then sin of this angle = Opp / Hyp = 9 / Sqrt (85).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks man. So, for the rest I just find the cos and tan normally?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Answer: The Sine is 0.976 The Cosine is -0.216 and The Tangent is -4.5 Is that right?
