FAN AND MEDAL AND TESTIMONY Use the image below to answer the following question. Find the value of sin x° and cos y°. What relationship do the ratios of sin x° and cos y° share?

Oooo trig xD

OpenStudy (prince1342):

Lmao I hate it, this is the final test of module 7 that I am working on

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Well first determine the ratio for sine...what is the ratio?

OpenStudy (prince1342):

5:12

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Actually the ratio of sine is.... \(\Huge{\sin(x)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}}\) In which we would need to find the hypotenuse so we would use the Pythagorean Theorem.... \(\Huge{a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}}\) Input.... \(\Huge\color{purple}{12^{2}+5^{2}=c^{2}}\) Simplify the exponent.... \(\Huge\color{green}{144+25=c^{2}}\) Add... \(\Huge\color{orange}{169=c^{2}}\) We have to find the square root of \(\large{169}\) \(\Huge\color{red}{\sqrt{169}=c}\) What would \(\large{c}\) be?

OpenStudy (prince1342):

13

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Correct ^^ So the hypotenuse is 13 and the opposite side is 5 so we would input this into the sin ratio.... \(\Huge{\sin(x)=\frac{5}{12}}\) Now since \(\large{x}\) is with sin we would invert.... \(\Huge{x=\sin^{-1}(\color{red}{\frac{5}{12}})}\) Note: When inputting into the calculator make sure to have your cal sent into degree mode. So what would x be?

563blackghost (563blackghost):

oooo mean 13* not 12

OpenStudy (prince1342):

I got 24.62

OpenStudy (prince1342):

If thats correct haha

563blackghost (563blackghost):

That is correct ^^

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Now since we know of each side of the triangle we can find the cosine....now what is the ratio for cosine??

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Ooooo hold on...

563blackghost (563blackghost):

I forgot it was suppose to be... \(\Huge{x=\sin^{-1}(\frac{5}{13})}\) but if it were 12 it would be correct but this is the equation for x.....so what would be the answer?

OpenStudy (prince1342):

Oh okay one sec, ill plug both the cos and sin in

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Alrighty ^^

OpenStudy (prince1342):

Sin 22.61 and cos 22.61

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Sin is right but cos is incorrect....The ratio for cos is... \(\Huge{y=\cos^{-1}(\frac{5}{13})}\)

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Were you able to find cos y ?

OpenStudy (prince1342):

Sorry! My internet went out, I got 67.38

OpenStudy (prince1342):

But how do the cos and sin share a relationship?
