Question 837580: if 0 degrees < X degrees < 90 degrees and Sin X= 1/2, then Cos X=?
i have the answer and the steps to this problem but i need it broken down and why, cause i absolutely don't understand how to get the answer i want to be able to understand how to do a problem like this. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! if 0 degrees < X degrees < 90 degrees and Sin X= 1/2, then Cos X=?
---------
By definition: sin = y/r
----
Since sin(x) = 1/2, y = 1 and r = 2
-------
Therefore y = sqrt[2^2-1^2] = sqrt(3)
-------
Your Problem:
By definitiion: cos = x/r
----
So cos(X) = x/r = sqrt(3)/2
