The correct Answer is:
To find all the trigonometric ratios for angle A in triangle ABC where angle B is 90 degrees and cos A = 9/41, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the sides of the triangle In triangle ABC: - Angle B = 90 degrees (right angle) - Cosine of angle A is given as cos A = adjacent side (base) / hypotenuse. Here, we can denote: - Adjacent side (base) = 9 - Hypotenuse = 41 ### Step 2: Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the opposite side (perpendicular) According to the Pythagorean theorem: \[ \text{Hypotenuse}^2 = \text{Perpendicular}^2 + \text{Base}^2 \] Substituting the known values: \[ 41^2 = \text{Perpendicular}^2 + 9^2 \] \[ 1681 = \text{Perpendicular}^2 + 81 \] Now, solve for the perpendicular: \[ \text{Perpendicular}^2 = 1681 - 81 \] \[ \text{Perpendicular}^2 = 1600 \] \[ \text{Perpendicular} = \sqrt{1600} = 40 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the sine of angle A The sine of angle A is given by: \[ \sin A = \frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}} \] Substituting the values: \[ \sin A = \frac{40}{41} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the tangent of angle A The tangent of angle A is given by: \[ \tan A = \frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}} \] Substituting the values: \[ \tan A = \frac{40}{9} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the secant of angle A The secant of angle A is the reciprocal of the cosine: \[ \sec A = \frac{1}{\cos A} = \frac{\text{Hypotenuse}}{\text{Base}} \] Substituting the values: \[ \sec A = \frac{41}{9} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the cosecant of angle A The cosecant of angle A is the reciprocal of the sine: \[ \csc A = \frac{1}{\sin A} = \frac{\text{Hypotenuse}}{\text{Perpendicular}} \] Substituting the values: \[ \csc A = \frac{41}{40} \] ### Step 7: Calculate the cotangent of angle A The cotangent of angle A is the reciprocal of the tangent: \[ \cot A = \frac{1}{\tan A} = \frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Perpendicular}} \] Substituting the values: \[ \cot A = \frac{9}{40} \] ### Summary of Trigonometric Ratios for Angle A - \( \sin A = \frac{40}{41} \) - \( \cos A = \frac{9}{41} \) - \( \tan A = \frac{40}{9} \) - \( \sec A = \frac{41}{9} \) - \( \csc A = \frac{41}{40} \) - \( \cot A = \frac{9}{40} \)
