Trigonometric Ratios

Sketch a triangle that has acute angle θ, and find the other five trigonometric ratios of θ

cosθ=1213

The required triangle is

The other ratios are-

sinθ=513tanθ=512cotθ=125cscθ=135secθ=1312

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1. Given information

A trigonometric ratio is given as cosθ=1213.

Step 2. Concept used

First find the unknown side of triangle. And then sketch the triangle by using the following trigonometric ratios-

sinθ=ph&cscθ=hpcosθ=bh&secθ=hbtanθ=pb&cotθ=bp

Where

h=hypotenuseb=basep=perpendicular

Step 3. Calculation

The triangle by using trigonometric ratio is-

Hypotenuse is given as 13 and base is 12. Now use Pythagoras theorem for finding the third side.

(AC)2=(AB)2+(BC)2(13)2=x2+(12)2

169=x2+144x2=169144x2=25x=5

Now we know all three sides. And the other five ratios are-

sinθ=513tanθ=512cotθ=125cscθ=135secθ=1312
