8. Introduction to Trigonometry
easy
$\sin \theta=\frac{3}{5},$ then $\tan \theta=\ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots$
A
$\frac{4}{3}$
B
$\frac{5}{4}$
C
$\frac{4}{5}$
D
$\frac{3}{4}$
Solution
$\cos ^{2} \theta=1-\sin ^{2} \theta=1-\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^{2}=1-\frac{9}{25}=\frac{16}{25}=\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^{2} \quad \therefore \cos \theta=\frac{4}{5}$
Now, $\tan \theta=\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}=\frac{3 / 5}{4 / 5}=\frac{3}{4}$
