Answer to Problem 6E
The value of trigonometric ratios are,
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The right angle triangle with length of its sides and angle
Formula used:
The trigonometric ratios for a right angle triangle are defined as,
Calculation:
Consider the right angle triangle with length of its sides and angle
Observe that opposite side is of length 15 units and adjacent side has length 8 units.
Now, let the length of hypotenuse be x , as it is a right angle triangle so,
Therefore, length of hypotenuse is 17 units.
Recall that the trigonometric ratios for a right angle triangle are defined as,
Apply it, to estimate the value of trigonometric ratios,
The value of sine function is,
The value of cosine function is,
The value of tangent function is,
The value of cosecant function is,
The value of secant function is,
The value of cotangent function is,
Hence, the value of trigonometric ratios are,
