Sin equals 0.9?

If sin(theta) is 0.9, then theta is about 64 degrees or about 116 degrees.

How do you figure this out Sin theta equals -0.0138 so theta equals what?

Depending on your calculator, you should have an arcsin function, which appears as sin^-1. It's usually a 2nd function of the sin key. If you don't have this function, there are many free calculators you can download... just google scientific calculator downloads.

Anyway, this inverse function will give you theta when you plug in the value of sin theta. Here's the algebra written out:


sin(theta)=-0.0138
arcsin(sin(theta))=arcsin(-0.0138)
theta=.......


The inverse function applied to both sides of the equation "cancels out" the sin function and yields the value of the angle that was originally plugged into the function, in this case theta. You can use this principle to solve for theta for any of the other trig functions:


arccos(cos(theta))=theta
arctan(tan(theta))=theta
and so on, but calculators usually only have these three inverse functions, so if you encounter a problem using sec, csc, or cot, you need to rewrite it as cos, sin, or tan.


sec=1/cos
csc=1/sin
cot=1/tan

What is the cos of angle 'a' with the measurements 5 13 12?

Use Cosine Rule

a^(2) = b^(2) + c^(2) - 2bcCosA

Algebrically rearrange

CosA = [a^(2) - b^(2) - c^(2)] / -2bc

Substitute

CosA = [13^(2) - 12^(2) - 5^(2)# / -2(12)(5)

CosA = [ 169 - 144 - 25] / -120

Cos)A) = [0] / -120

CosA = 0

A = 90 degrees (the right angle opposite the hypotenuse)/

However,

If 'A' is the angle between '12' & '13' then 'a' is the side '5'

Hence (Notice the rearrangement of the numerical values).

CosA = [5^(2) - 12^(2) - 13^(2) ] / -2(12)(13)

CosA = [ 25 - 144 -169] / -312

CosA = [ -288[/-312

CosA = 288/312

A = Cos^(-1) [288/312]

A = 22.61986495.... degrees.

Evaluate sin30 plus cos60-2tan45?

To evaluate sin30 plus cos60-2tan45, we start by finding the exact values of sin30, cos60, and tan45.

sin30 = 1/2, cos60 = 1/2, and tan45 = 1.

Substitute these values into the expression: 1/2 + 1/2 - 2(1) = 1/2 + 1/2 - 2 = 1 - 2 = -1.

Therefore, sin30 plus cos60-2tan45 equals -1.

How is trigonometry used in seismology?

In seismology, trigonometry is used to analyze seismic waves and determine the location and depth of earthquakes. By measuring the time it takes for seismic waves to travel from the earthquake's epicenter to various seismic stations, trigonometric calculations help triangulate the epicenter's position. Additionally, trigonometric functions assist in modeling wave propagation and understanding the angles of wave incidence and reflection, which are crucial for interpreting seismic data.

The inverse of the cosine function?

Inverse of Cosine is 'ArcCos' or Cos^(-1)

The reciprocal of Cosine is !/ Cosine = Secant.

How many angles in a hectagon?

A hectagon (or hectogon) is a Polygon with 100 angles.

  • A heptagon has 7, and a hexagon has 6.

What is the area of an octagon with a side length of 6 cm?

An octagon is a square with the four corners removed.

These four corners are right angles triangles, with a hypotenuse of of 6 cm. So we need to find the area of these four triangles and remove(subtract) from a larger square.

Using ~Pythagoras.

6^(2) = a^(2) + a^(2)

Hence

36 = 2a^(2)

18 = a^(2)

a = 3sqrt(2) The side length of the triangles.

So the area of these triangles is 4 x 0.5 x 3sqrt(2) x 3sqrt(2( = 36 cm^(2)

Now the side length of a large square enclosing the octagon. is

6 + 3sqrt(2) + 3sqrt(2( = 6 + 6sqrt(2)

The overall area of the 'large square; is ( 6 + 6sqrt(2))^(2) = )Use FOIL).

(6 + 6sqrt(2))(6 + 6sqrt(2)) =

36 + 36sqrt(2) + 36 sqrt(2)+ 72) = 108 + 72sqrt(2) cm^(2)

So subtract from the area , the four corner area which is from above 36cm^(2)

Hence

108 + 72sqrt(2) - 36 = (72 + 72sqrt(2() cm^(2) or

72(1 + sqrt(2)) cm^(2)

or

173.8233765 ... cm^(2).

When would you use the law of sines or law of cosines instead of a trigonometric ratio?

It is NOT the Law of Sines/Cosine , but the SINE / COSINE Rule.

Sine Rule is SinA/a = SinB/b = SinC/c

Where 'A' , 'B', and 'C' (Capitals) are the angular values.

and 'a', 'b' ,& 'c' (lower case) are the side lengths opposite to the given angle.

For Sine Rule, select any two terms, from the three above. This requires known values for any two angles and one side to find the other side. Or any two sides and one angle to find the other angle.

Known ; angle , angle side to find a side. or Side, side, angle to find an angle. Think 2angles x 2 sides ;

Cosine Rule. is a^(2) = b^(2) + c^(2) - 2bcCosA

This requires three known sides to find an angle. or two known sides and an angle to find the third side.

Think 1 angle x 3 sides.

What is a sine ratio?

The ratio of the side of a right-angled triangle opposite to a specified angle to the hypotenuse; when expressed as a real number between 0 and 1 it defines the sine of the angle

Theta in Greek?

Theta is the Greek letter that in English is represented by the letter Q.

How do you Prove sin x times sec x equals tan x?

sinx*secx ( secx= 1/cos )

sinx*(1/cosx)

sinx/cosx=tanx

tanx=tanx

What is the derivative of sin pi x?

If you mean y = Sin(pi(x))

Then

Use the chain rule

dy/dx = dy/du X du/dx

Let

pi(x) = u

y = Sin (u)

dy/du = Cos(u)

u = pi(x)

du/dx = pi

Combining

dy/dx = pi Cos(u) = piCos (pi(x)). The answer!!!!!

What is sin pi over 4?

What does sin(pi/4) = ?

Let's consider a special right triangle: the 45-45-90 triangle.

In any 45-45-90 triangle, since the two 45 degree angles are congruent, the sides opposite to those angles are both congruent.

Now, considering the unit circle, the radius of the circle must be one.

So, if you put in a 45-45-90 triangle in a unit circle, this allows you to find the value of sin pi/4 because pi/4 radians = 45 degrees.

Because the circle has radius 1, the hypotenuse of the triangle must also be one. Since the other two sides must be equal, you can solve for them using the Pythagorean theorem.

a2 + b2 = c2

a2 + a2 = 12

2a2 = 1

a2 = 1/2

a = √(1/2)

a = 1/√(2) * (√(2)/√(2))

a = √(2) / 2

Since sin is defined as opp/hyp, sin 45 degrees (pi/4 radians) = (√(2)/2)/1 = √(2)/2

I hope this helped explain my answer. If there's anything that's still confusing, just tell me. (Sorry I didn't do it the first time).

How do you calculate sin20?

You need to use a calculator or computer. The answer will depend on whether the angle is measured in degrees or radians.
