1. **Problem Statement:** Find the values of the trigonometric functions sin \(\theta\), cos \(\theta\), tan \(\theta\), sec \(\theta\), csc \(\theta\), and cot \(\theta\) for the acute angle \(\theta\) in the given right triangles. 2. **Formulas and Definitions:** - \(\sin \theta = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}\) - \(\cos \theta = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}\) - \(\tan \theta = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}\) - \(\sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta} = \frac{\text{hypotenuse}}{\text{adjacent}}\) - \(\csc \theta = \frac{1}{\sin \theta} = \frac{\text{hypotenuse}}{\text{opposite}}\) - \(\cot \theta = \frac{1}{\tan \theta} = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{opposite}}\) 3. **Triangle 1 (Top-left graph):** - Opposite side = 3 - Adjacent side = 4 - Hypotenuse = 5 Calculate: \(\sin \theta = \frac{3}{5} = 0.6\) \(\cos \theta = \frac{4}{5} = 0.8\) \(\tan \theta = \frac{3}{4} = 0.75\) \(\sec \theta = \frac{5}{4} = 1.25\) \(\csc \theta = \frac{5}{3} \approx 1.6667\) \(\cot \theta = \frac{4}{3} \approx 1.3333\) 4. **Triangle 2 (Bottom-left graph):** - Opposite side = 3 cm - Adjacent side = 4 cm - Hypotenuse = 5 cm (by Pythagorean theorem) Values are the same as Triangle 1: \(\sin \theta = \frac{3}{5} = 0.6\) \(\cos \theta = \frac{4}{5} = 0.8\) \(\tan \theta = \frac{3}{4} = 0.75\) \(\sec \theta = \frac{5}{4} = 1.25\) \(\csc \theta = \frac{5}{3} \approx 1.6667\) \(\cot \theta = \frac{4}{3} \approx 1.3333\) 5. **Triangle 3 (Top-right graph):** - Opposite side = 8 m - Hypotenuse = 17 m - Adjacent side calculated by Pythagorean theorem: $$\text{adjacent} = \sqrt{17^2 - 8^2} = \sqrt{289 - 64} = \sqrt{225} = 15$$ Calculate: \(\sin \theta = \frac{8}{17} \approx 0.4706\) \(\cos \theta = \frac{15}{17} \approx 0.8824\) \(\tan \theta = \frac{8}{15} \approx 0.5333\) \(\sec \theta = \frac{17}{15} \approx 1.1333\) \(\csc \theta = \frac{17}{8} = 2.125\) \(\cot \theta = \frac{15}{8} = 1.875\) 6. **Triangles 4, 5, 6 (Center-right, Bottom-right, and last triangle):** - No side lengths given, so values cannot be calculated without additional information. **Final answers for the first triangle:** - \(\sin \theta = 0.6\) - \(\cos \theta = 0.8\) - \(\tan \theta = 0.75\) - \(\sec \theta = 1.25\) - \(\csc \theta \approx 1.6667\) - \(\cot \theta \approx 1.3333\)
