Two sides of a right triangle ABC (C is the right angle) are given. Find the indicated trigonometric function of the given angle. Give exact answers with rational denominators.

Find sin A when a = 4 and b = 5.

Respuesta :

5 root 41/41
draw a right triangle. label the sides. use the Pythagorean theorem. do sin of the angle A. rationalize denominator.

In a right triangle ABC value of trigonometric function sin A = [tex]\frac{4\sqrt{41} }{41}[/tex] (with rational denominator).

What is trigonometric function?

" Trigonometric function are defined as the relation between the acute angle of a right angled triangle to the ratio of the sides of the triangle."

Formula used

In a right angled triangle,

Sinθ = (Opposite side )/ Hypotenuse

'θ' one of the acute angle of the right angled triangle

Pythagoras theorem

In ΔACB

(Hypotenuse)² = (Opposite side)² + ( Adjacent side)²

c² = a² +b²

According to the question,

As shown in the diagram,

In right angled triangle ACB,

Given ,

∠C = 90°

Opposite side 'a' = 4

Adjacent side 'b' = 5

Substitute the value in formula to calculate hypotenuse we get,

   (c)² = (4)² +(5)²

⇒c² = 16 +25

⇒ c = √41

Substitute the value in trigonometric function we get,

sin A = 4 / √41

         [tex]= \frac{4}{\sqrt{41}} *\frac{\sqrt{41} }{\sqrt{41} } \\\\=\frac{4\sqrt{41} }{41}[/tex](rational denominator)

Hence, value of trigonometric function sin A = [tex]\frac{4\sqrt{41} }{41}[/tex] (with rational denominator).
