$\sin \theta=\frac{3}{5},$ 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, $\tan \theta=\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}=\frac{3 / 5}{4 / 5}=\frac{3}{4}$
