c. sin(θ)=−0.631and cos(θ)=0.776

tan(θ)=​

Respuesta :

Answer:

a) ≈ 0.1

b) ≈ 0.2

c) ≈ 0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN :-

  • Values of sinθ & cosθ

TO FIND :-

  • Value of tanθ

FACTS TO KNOW BEFORE SOLVING :-

  • [tex]\tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}[/tex]

SOLUTION :-

a) [tex]\tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = \frac{0.1}{0.995}[/tex] ≈ 0.1

b) [tex]\tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = \frac{-0.158}{-0.987} = 0.16 (appx)[/tex] ≈ 0.2

c) [tex]\tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = \frac{0.631}{0.776} = 0.81 (appx)[/tex] ≈ 0.9
