It is known that α is an acute angle, and tan α = 3: 4 (that is, three quarters). Try to find the value of cosα.
Let diagonal =3a, and adjacent right angles =4a.
Hypotenuse of solution =5a
So cosα= adjacent right angles/hypotenuse =4/5.
Given that α is an acute angle and cotα=m, try to find the value of sinα.
tanα= 1/cotα= 1/m
The process is the same as above, and the hypotenuse = √ (1+m 2).
Sinα= diagonal/hypotenuse =1√ (1+m 2)
The triangle ABC, ∠ A = 90, AD⊥BC, the vertical foot is D, ∠B is αAC=b to find BD.
BD=b/sinα-b*sinα
