Algebra.Com's Answer #545441 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The cosine of some angle (theta), which is in the first quadrant, has the following value: cos(theta)=.0545 = 545/10000\" \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "Note cos = x/r \n" ); document.write( "So, x = 545 and r = 10000 \n" ); document.write( "Then y = sqrt(10000^2-545^2) = 9985 \n" ); document.write( "------\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " And it wants me to solve for the sin and tan. \n" ); document.write( "sin = y/r = 9985/10000 = 0.9985 \n" ); document.write( "tan = y/x = 9985/545 = 18.32 \n" ); document.write( "===================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "------------------- \n" ); document.write( " |
