Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image contains a trigonometry table where you are asked to construct a triangle to find missing values. The table lists various trigonometric functions (like sin, cos, sec, etc.) with associated angles in both degrees and radians. The goal is to fill in the missing function values.
I'll help you calculate these values based on the given angles and trigonometric functions.
Here is the breakdown for each function:
-
sin(30°) or sin(π/6):
- Function value:
-
cos(45°) or cos(π/4):
- Function value:
-
sec(π):
- Function value:
- Explanation: Secant is the reciprocal of cosine, and , so .
-
tan(30°) or tan(π/6):
- Function value: or
-
cot(π/2):
- Function value:
- Explanation: Cotangent is the reciprocal of tangent. Since is undefined (as it approaches infinity), .
-
csc(60°) or csc(π/3):
- Function value: or
-
sin(π/3):
- Function value:
-
cos(60°) or cos(π/3):
- Function value:
-
tan(π):
- Function value:
- Explanation: because sine is 0 at π radians and cosine is -1.
-
sec(45°) or sec(π/4):
- Function value:
These values fill the missing entries in the table.
