Find the values of the six trigonometric functions for the a
Find the values of the six trigonometric functions for the angle . Assume a = 7, b = 24, c = 25.
Solution
24^2 + 7^2=25^2
so its a right triangle with hypotenuse=25
opposite=7 and adjacent=24
therefore sin theta= opposite/hypotenuse=7/25
cos theta= adjacent/hypotenuse=24/25
tan theta= opposite/adjacent= 7/24
sec theta=1/cos theta=25/24
csc theta=1/sin theta= 25/7
cot theta=1/tan theta= 24/7
