Answer:
Cos θ = -4/5
Tan θ = -3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is as following:
Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.
Angle θ lies in the second quadrant, and sin θ =3/5.
cos θ = -4/5, -3/5, 3/5, 4/5
tan θ = -4/3, -3/4, 3/4, 4/3
==================================================
Since, the angle lies in second quadrant (negative x axis and positive y axis) we can deduce that cos θ is negative and tan θ is also negative.
If sin θ =3/5
[tex]cos \ \theta =\sqrt{1-sin^2 \theta} = \sqrt{1-(\frac{3}{5} )^2} =\sqrt{1-\frac{9}{25} }=\sqrt{\frac{16}{25} } =\frac{4}{5}[/tex]
∴ Cos θ = -4/5 ⇒ because θ lies in the second quadrant.
And
Tan θ = (sin θ)/(cos θ) = (3/5) / (-4/5) = -3/4.
