Question 640875: Let data be an acute angle of a right triangle. Express the remaining five trigonometric functions in terms of a.
(a) sin (data)= a/3
(b) tan(data)= a/5
(c) sec(data)= a
I'm not sure if the angle changes which leg is opposite or adjacent. Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
(a) and (b) cannot occur together in the same triangle. , so
But the range of the cosine function is , so is an impossible value.
And since these two items must be part of the same question asking about the same triangle because I know you wouldn't violate the rule about one question per post, the whole question is bogus. Tell your teacher to try again. And is "theta" not "data"
