In Exercises 15 to 20, use the sine, cosine, or tangent ratio to find the lengths of the indicated sides to the nearest tenth of a unit.

Chapter 11.3, Problem 15E, In Exercises 15 to 20, use the sine, cosine, or tangent ratio to find the lengths of the indicated

To determine

To find:

The lengths of the indicated sides to the nearest tenth of a unit using the sine, cosine or tangent ratio.

Explanation

Given:

The triangle with the indicated sides is shown below.

Definition used:

The trigonometric ratios:

sinα=oppositehypotenuse
cosα=adjacenthypotenuse
tanα=oppositeadjacent

Calculation:

Let α=32∘.

From the figure we see that opposite=x,adjacent=12,hypotenuse=z.

We need to find the values of x, z.

We have cosα=adjacenthypotenuse

cos32∘=12z

We have tanα=oppositeadjacent

tan32∘=x12

Let us use Ti-83 calculator to find the value of cos32∘,tan32∘.

Press ON in Ti-83 calculator.

Since we need to find the value of degree, we need to change the mode to degrees.

Press MODE button and use arrow keys to select the “Degree” mode.

Let us find the values, correct to four decimal places.

Since we need the values of cos32∘,tan32∘ correct to four decimal places, in MODE, using arrow keys choose the value of “Float” as 4
