Consider angle θ in Quadrant II, where sinθ = 4/5 . What is the value of cosθ?

Sagot :

Answer:

3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

sin theta=opposite/hypotenuse

4/5=opposite/hypotenuse

therefore opposite=4 and hypotenuse=5

for adjacent

using pythagoras theorem

a^2+b^2=c^2

opposite^2 + adjacent^2 =hypotenuse^2

4^2 + adjacent^2 =5^2

16 + adjacent^2 =25

adjacent^2 =25-16

adjacent =[tex]\sqrt{9[/tex]

adjacent=3

cos theta=adjacent/hypotenuse

=3/5

therefore the value of cos theta is 3/5
