find sin theta if cos theta = 5/13 and theta terminates in QI
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "cos = x/r, so x = 5 and r = 13
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"y\":
\n" ); document.write( "y^2 = r^2-x^2
\n" ); document.write( "y = sqrt[13^2-5^2) = sqrt[169-25] = sqrt(144) = 12
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: sin = y/r = 12/13
