Question 2
2.
Try on your own!

Find all 6 trigonometric ratios for ∠θ an in each of the triangles below. Write each answer as a reduced and rationalized fraction.
sin(θ)=_______
cos(θ)=_______
tan(θ)=_______
csc(θ)=_______
sec(θ)=_______
cot(θ)=_______
Question 3
3.

Try on your own!

Find cot(θ) if sec(θ)=2

Hint: make the 2 a fraction; for 2/1
*you will have to rationalize the denominator for your final answer!

Question 4
4.

ROUND TO 4 DECIMAL PLACES!
sin(15\degree)=

Question 5
5.

ROUND TO 4 DECIMAL PLACES!
cos(40\degree)=

Question 6
6.

ROUND TO 4 DECIMAL PLACES!
tan(50\degree)=

Question 7
7.

ROUND TO 4 DECIMAL PLACES!
csc(20\degree)=

This is not in the calculator; you have to use the reciprocal and do 1/sin(20)

Question 8
8.

ROUND TO 4 DECIMAL PLACES!
sec(60\degree)=

This is not in the calculator; you have to use the reciprocal and do 1/cos(60)

Question 9
9.

ROUND TO 4 DECIMAL PLACES!
cot(80\degree)=

This is not in the calculator; you have to use the reciprocal and do 1/tan(80)

Question 10
10.

Round to 2 decimal places if possible

Question 11
11.

Round to 2 decimal places if possible
tan B = 0.6249

Question 12
12.

Round to 2 decimal places if possible

Question 13
13.

round to 2 decimal places, if possible:
cot C = 0.1405

Question 14
14.
Solve for triangle ABC



AC=_______
* hint use pythagorean theorem; keep as a square root

m\angle{A}=_______
*hint use tan^{-1} ; and round to 2 decimal places

m\angle{C}=_______
*hint a triangle adds to 180\degree; and round to 2 decimal places
