Algebra.Com's Answer #514760 by DrBeeee(684)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The answer to your question (r's are the same) is that they are the same! The difference is that you defined y = 2 for the sin function, but it is really y = 2 sqrt(5). Then the r for the sin is r = (sqrt5)*(sqrt5) or r = 5. In fact, the value of r must be the same! \n" ); document.write( "The angle theta is in the second quadrant. \n" ); document.write( " |
