Best Answer

You use the Pythagorian Theorum, a2 + b2 = c2, where c is the length of the hypotenuse.

If a2 + b2 = c2 then a2 = c2 - b2.

Let's say that b is the side opposite Θ. Since sinΘ = b/c, a2 = 5 - 4 = 1, so a = 1.

Since tanΘ = b/a, tanΘ = 2.

How do you solve sin2 theta if sin theta equals 3 over 5 and theta is in the first quadrant?

If sin (theta) is 3/5, then sin2 (theta) is (3/5)2, or 9/25.


How do you find theta?

You shoot a cannon with a vi of 18 m/s. You need to get it 16m and over a 10m wall. The acceleration in the x is 0 and in the y it is gravity. The question is at what angle theta can you shoot the cannon over the fence and 16 meters away. How do I find theta?

What is whole under root of sec theta - 1 over sec theta 1?

Ut is equual to tan(theta) / (sec(theta) + 1)


What is the equivalent of sine theta over secant theta?

For such simplifications, it is usually convenient to convert any trigonometric function that is not sine or cosine, into sine or cosine. In this case, you have: sin theta / sec theta = sin theta / (1/cos theta) = sin theta cos theta.

There is none because it is not true.


If the area of a circle is 25 square units what is the radius of the circle?

area equals pi r squared therefor r squared equals area over pi. Now find square root of r squared and you have "R" (radius) = 2.821


How do you find the height of a right angle?

Assuming you know the angle of ascension, and the base, you can calculate the height by recalling that tangent theta is height over base. Simple algebra from there: height is tangent theta times base.


What is the difference between sin cos and tan?

In a right triangle, the right angle is formed by sides a and b. Side c is the hypotenuse.Theta is the interior angle that joins (let's say) sides b and c. The sin of theta is the length of a over the length of c. The cos of theta is the length of b over the length of c. The tan of theta is the length of a over the length of b.Sin theta= opposite divided by hypotenuse. Cos theta=adjacent divided by hypotenuse. Tan theta=opposite over adjacent.(Sin1-Cos1)-Tan1=-1.25623905Sorry, that was a mathematician's joke.

If you move that 46x over the equals, and if you square both sides, you can get rid of that square root, and do the equation normally. do the math


What is sec theta - 1 over sec theta?

Let 'theta' = A [as 'A' is easier to type] sec A - 1/(sec A) = 1/(cos A) - cos A = (1 - cos^2 A)/(cos A) = (sin^2 A)/(cos A) = (tan A)*(sin A) Then you can swap back the 'A' with theta
