Question

In the following figure cot R = 4:3, find sin P, tan R and cos P.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given, cot R = 4:3

=>cot R = 4/3

Therefore, tan R = 3/4 [ since, 1/tan R = cotR]

By pythagorus theorem

QR = root over 3^2 + 5^2

QR = root over 25

QR = 5

Therefore, sin P = 3/5

cos P = 4/5

tan R = 3/4 [shown earlier]
