Referring to the diagram below find the exact value of sin t
Referring to the diagram below, find the exact value of sin theta. Referring to the diagram in problem #8, find the exact length of arc s opposite the angle theta.
Solution
given point is (-3,-sqrt(3) )
the given points is (rcos,rsin)
now comparing rcos = -3 , rsin = -3sqrt(3)
rcos/rsin = -3/-3sqrt(3)
cot = 1/sqrt(3)
= +/3
= 4/3
arc length is radius
so squaring and adding points
r^2 (cos^2 + sin^2 )= (-3)^2 + (3sqrt3)^2
r^2 (1) = 9 +27
r^2 =36
r=6
arc length is 6
