Suppose that
is a right triangle with
.

If AB = 13 and BC = 5, compute the values of the six
trigonometricfunctions of angle B.

Answer :

Answer:

sin(B) = 12/13

cos(B) = 5/13

tan(B) = 12/5

csc(B) = 13/12

sec(B) = 13/5

cot(B) = 5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

If ABC is a right triangle, assuming that ∠C = 90°, then the segment AB =13 is the hypotenuse and the other two sides are:

[tex]BC = 5\\AC = \sqrt{13^2 - 5^2}\\AC = 12[/tex]

The six  trigonometric functions of angle B are:

[tex]sin(B) =\frac{AC}{AB}= \frac{12}{13}\\cos(B) = \frac{BC}{AB} =\frac{5}{13}\\tan(B) = \frac{AC}{BC} =\frac{12}{5}\\\csc(B) =\frac{1}{sin(B)}= \frac{13}{12}\\sec(B) = \frac{1}{cos(B)} =\frac{13}{5}\\cot(B) = \frac{1}{tan(B)} =\frac{5}{12}\\[/tex]
