The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will find all the trigonometric ratios for angle A in triangle ABC, where angle B is 90 degrees and sin A = 3/5. ### Step 1: Draw Triangle ABC We start by drawing triangle ABC, where angle B is the right angle (90 degrees). Label the sides: - Let AB be the side opposite angle A (perpendicular). - Let BC be the base (adjacent to angle A). - Let AC be the hypotenuse. ### Step 2: Identify the Given Information We know that: - sin A = opposite/hypotenuse = AB/AC = 3/5 From this, we can identify: - Opposite side (AB) = 3 - Hypotenuse (AC) = 5 ### Step 3: Use Pythagorean Theorem to Find the Base According to the Pythagorean theorem: \[ AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2 \] Substituting the known values: \[ 5^2 = 3^2 + BC^2 \] \[ 25 = 9 + BC^2 \] \[ BC^2 = 25 - 9 = 16 \] Taking the square root: \[ BC = 4 \] ### Step 4: Find Cosine of Angle A Using the definition of cosine: \[ \cos A = \frac{\text{Adjacent}}{\text{Hypotenuse}} = \frac{BC}{AC} = \frac{4}{5} \] ### Step 5: Find Tangent of Angle A Using the definition of tangent: \[ \tan A = \frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Adjacent}} = \frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{3}{4} \] ### Step 6: Find Cosecant of Angle A Cosecant is the reciprocal of sine: \[ \csc A = \frac{1}{\sin A} = \frac{5}{3} \] ### Step 7: Find Secant of Angle A Secant is the reciprocal of cosine: \[ \sec A = \frac{1}{\cos A} = \frac{5}{4} \] ### Step 8: Find Cotangent of Angle A Cotangent is the reciprocal of tangent: \[ \cot A = \frac{1}{\tan A} = \frac{BC}{AB} = \frac{4}{3} \] ### Summary of Trigonometric Ratios - sin A = 3/5 - cos A = 4/5 - tan A = 3/4 - csc A = 5/3 - sec A = 5/4 - cot A = 4/3
