Any guesses?

OpenStudy (katecc379):
yes i know smh can toa i honestly have no idea on this one
OpenStudy (katecc379):
like i don't know which terms are adjacent, opposite, or hypotenuse from looking at the unit circle
OpenStudy (katecc379):
@mayankdevnani
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
Well I'm on mobile right now
I can't draw
OpenStudy (katecc379):
hold on i think I'm getting it, is opposite square root of 2 over 2, and adjacent the negative version of that?

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
The longest side is hypotenuse
OpenStudy (katecc379):
yes what would the value of the hypotenuse be
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
Opposite side means side which is straight to angle theta
OpenStudy (katecc379):
yes, which would be the y value correct?
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
do you know what is the value of 3π/4?

In degrees
OpenStudy (katecc379):
135?
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
Correct
OpenStudy (katecc379):
so what is that needed for
OpenStudy (katecc379):
were my values for opposite and adjacent correct?

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
We can write it as
π/2+π/4
OpenStudy (katecc379):
\[opposite=\frac{ \sqrt{2}}{ 2 }\]
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
This question is independent of adjacent and opposite aides
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
*sides lol
OpenStudy (katecc379):
I'm confused lol

Just follow my way
OpenStudy (katecc379):
okay
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
So is it correct to write 3π/4=π/2+π/4
OpenStudy (katecc379):
for what ?
OpenStudy (katecc379):
like why would you write that lol

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
Lol for making your problem much easier
OpenStudy (katecc379):
ok but where are the values from
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
π/2=90 degrees
π/4=45 degrees
OpenStudy (katecc379):
oh okay
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
Tell me
What is sin(90 +theta)

OpenStudy (katecc379):
-sq rt of 2 / 2
OpenStudy (katecc379):
what
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
Remember
Sin(90+theta)=cos theta
OpenStudy (katecc379):
yes lol the answer is what i just told you lol
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
If we plug theta =45 degrees,
Sin(90+45)=sin(135)=cos(45)

OpenStudy (katecc379):
oh i thought theta = 135 lol
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
But with no negative sign
OpenStudy (katecc379):
ok
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
Cos 45=1/√2=√2/2
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
Similarly, cos (90+theta )=-sin(theta)

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
Plug theta =45
OpenStudy (katecc379):
wouldn't it give the same answer
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
Yea lol
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
But this time with negative sign ;-)
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
Tan theta =sin theta / cos theta

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
Divide both the values to find out tan 135
OpenStudy (katecc379):
-1
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
Correct
OpenStudy (katecc379):
will you make sure cause whenever I'm dividing the things you told me I'm getting opposites for the negatives and I'm doing it on a calculator
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
135 lies in second quadrant
And sin in second quadrant is positive while cos and tan are negative

OpenStudy (katecc379):
okay
OpenStudy (katecc379):
so then sin is the positive, cos is the negative, and tan is -1
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
Yep
OpenStudy (katecc379):
is this correct
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
Gotta go now

Sorry cya later
OpenStudy (katecc379):
that is so simple to just say yes ro no lol
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
You're correct
CLAPS
OpenStudy (katecc379):
but it was wrong lol
