To determine

## To calculate: The value of the exact trigonometric ratio of the given radian angle:   3π4

Expert Solution

The exact trigonometric ration of the 3π4

sin3π4=12cosec3π4=2cos3π4=12sec3π4=2tan3π4=cot3π4=1

### Explanation of Solution

Given information:

3π4

Formula Used:

Trigonometric ratios are given by the following formula:

sinθ=yrcosecθ=rycosθ=xrsecθ=rxtanθ=yxcotθ=xy

Calculation:

The given value of radian is 3π4rad . It is negative angle value that means the rotation is measured from the x axis as clockwise direction.

Know that:

In one full rotation the angle is 2π . And the relation between the degree and radian is shown by below expression:

Now, rewrite the given angle in the standard position:

Thus, the given angle 3π4rad measures angle 135° or it is 34 of the half revolution (180°) from the positive x axis.

This angle is drawn as below:

Here, the triangle is fixed at terminal (x,y)=(1,1) and r=(1)2+(1)2=2

Therefore, trigonometric ratios are given as:

sin3π4=yr=12cosec3π4=ry=21=2cos3π4=xr=12sec3π4=rx=21=2tan3π4=yx=11=1cot3π4=xy=11=1
