Find the values of the indicated functions Given cot theta19
Find the values of the indicated functions. Given cot theta=1/9, find sin theta and tan theta
Solution
cot(theta) = 1/9
tan(theta) = 1/ cot(theta)
tan(theta) = 9
also tan(theta) = perpendicular(P) / base (B) = 9/1
ie P = 9, B = 1
so hypotenuse (H) = ( 92+1)1/2 = 9.055
sin(theta) = P / H
= 9 / 9.055
= 0.99
