Question 1041081: Use the following ratios to address the questions below:
a. sin = 1/2
b. sin = 6/13
c. sin = 9/10
d. sin = 12/15
e. cos = 1/2
f. cos = 6/13
g. cos = 9/10
h. cos = 12/15
i. tan = 1/2
j. tan = 6/13
k. tan = 9/10
l. tan = 12/15

1. Use each trigonometric ratio to determine the length of all three sides of each triangle. Did you notice a pattern in the answers? If so, make sure you can explain the pattern.
2. Using similar triangles, calculate the altitude of each triangle. Round your answers to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.
Also, how do you calculate the sine, cosine, and tangent of any angle between 0 and 90 using a calculator or other technology?
Thanks in advance!
