sin A = -x/y

Since the sine is the ratio of the opposite leg to the hypotenuse, let's assume the opposite leg's length is -x and the hypotenuse's length is y. Let's call the adjacent leg's length z. So:

(-x)2+z2=y2

z2=y2-(-x)2

z2=y2-x2

z=√(y2-x2)

cos A = z/y = √(y2-x2)/y

What is CosA-SinA?

Sin^2 - Cos^2 = 1 {By the Identity}Therefore (SinA-CosA)(SinA+CosA) = 1SinA-CosA = 1/(SinA+CosA)Therefore CosA-SinA = -1/(SinA+CosA)


If SecASinA equals 0 then what will be the Value of CosA?

SecA = 1/CosA Hence SecASinA = SinA/CosA = 0 Then SinA = 0 A = 0 , 180, 360 It doesn't matter what the value of CosA is because if CosA = 0 , then the answer is undefined. 44e/.g/ SinA/CosA = SinA / 0 = Undefined.


If cosecA plus cotA equals 11by2 then find the value of tanA?

CosecA + CotA = 11/2Cosec2A - Cot2A = 1 {By the Identity}(CosecA + CotA) (CosecA - CotA) = 111/2 (CosecA - CotA) = 1(1/SinA) - (CosA/SinA) =2/11(1 - CosA) / SinA = 2/11Therefore 1 - CosA = 2CosA = 3 and SinA = 11Therefore TanA = SinA / CosA = 11/3

If sinA equals 1 by 3 evaluate cosA cosecA plus tanA secA?

SinA = 1/3 = Opposite/HypotenuseTherefore taking Opposite to be 1cm and Hypotenuse to be 3cm.Therefore Adjacent side = Root of 32 - 12= root 8CosA = Adjacent/Hypotenuse = root8 / 3CosecA = Hypotenuse/Opposite = 3/1TanA = Opposite/Adjacent = 1 / root8SecA = Hypotenuse/Adjacent = 3 / root8Therefore,(CosA.CosecA) + (TanA.SecA) = (root8 / 3 . 3 / 1) + (1 / root8 . 3 / root8)= (root8) + (3 / 8)= 2(root2) + (3 / 8)

Why are there two sine cosine and tangent ratios?

There aren't. There are three: Sine, Cosine and Tangent, for any given right-angled triangle. They are related of course: for any given angle A, sinA/cosA = tanA; sinA + cosA =1. As you can prove for yourself, the first by a little algebraic manipulation of the basic ratios for a right-angled triangle, the second by looking up the values for any value such that 0 < A < 90. And those three little division sums are the basis for a huge field of mathematics extending far beyond simple triangles into such fields as harmonic analysis, vectors, electricity & electronics, etc.
