The correct Answer is:
To find all the trigonometric ratios for angle A in triangle ABC, where angle B is 90 degrees and sin A = 3/5, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the sine definition The sine of an angle in a right triangle is defined as the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the hypotenuse. Here, we have: - sin A = opposite/hypotenuse = 3/5. ### Step 2: Assign lengths to the sides Let the length of the side opposite angle A be 3 units and the length of the hypotenuse be 5 units. We can denote: - Opposite side (to angle A) = 3, - Hypotenuse = 5. ### Step 3: Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the adjacent side In a right triangle, the Pythagorean theorem states that: \[ a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \] where \( c \) is the hypotenuse, \( a \) is the opposite side, and \( b \) is the adjacent side. Here, we have: - \( a = 3 \) (opposite), - \( c = 5 \) (hypotenuse). We need to find \( b \) (adjacent side): \[ 3^2 + b^2 = 5^2 \] \[ 9 + b^2 = 25 \] \[ b^2 = 25 - 9 \] \[ b^2 = 16 \] \[ b = 4 \] ### Step 4: Calculate other trigonometric ratios Now that we have all sides of the triangle: - Opposite = 3, - Adjacent = 4, - Hypotenuse = 5. We can find the other trigonometric ratios: 1. **Cosine (cos A)**: \[ \cos A = \frac{\text{Adjacent}}{\text{Hypotenuse}} = \frac{4}{5} \] 2. **Tangent (tan A)**: \[ \tan A = \frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Adjacent}} = \frac{3}{4} \] 3. **Cosecant (cosec A)**: \[ \csc A = \frac{1}{\sin A} = \frac{5}{3} \] 4. **Secant (sec A)**: \[ \sec A = \frac{1}{\cos A} = \frac{5}{4} \] 5. **Cotangent (cot A)**: \[ \cot A = \frac{1}{\tan A} = \frac{4}{3} \] ### Summary of Trigonometric Ratios for Angle A: - sin A = 3/5 - cos A = 4/5 - tan A = 3/4 - cosec A = 5/3 - sec A = 5/4 - cot A = 4/3
