Suppose a 3 and b 6 Find an exact value or give at least t
Suppose a = 3 and b = 6. Find an exact value or give at least two decimal places: sin(A) = cos(A) = tan(A) = sec(A) = csc(A) = cot(A) =
Solution
In the given question which is a right angle triangle,
a=3, b=6 .
c2 =(32 +62) by application of pythagoras theorum in the given triangle in question.
thus c=6.71
From the question ,in the triangle the base =6 ,the perpendicular is 3 and the hypoteneuse is 6.71
now by definition of trigonometric ratios we know
sin A =perpendicular/hypoteneuse
cos A =base/hypoteneuse
tan A=perpendicular/base
csc A =1/sin A
secA =1/cos A
and Cot A =1/ tan A
keeping values we get
sin A =3/6.71 =0.447
cos A =6/6.71 =0.894
tan A =3/6 =0.500
csc A =1/sin A =1/0.447 =2.236
sec A=1/cos A =1/0.894 =1.118
and Cot A =1/tan A =1/0.50 =2
