Answer
cos θ =
Let base = 2x and hypotenuse = 1 + x2
Now we will find perpendicular by using pythagoras theorem
Perpendicular2 = Hypotenuse2 - Base2
Perpendicular2 = (1 + x2)2 - (2x)2
Perpendicular2 = 1 + x4 + 2x2 - 4x2
Perpendicular2 = 1 + x4 - 2x2
Perpendicular2 = (x2 - 1)2
Perpendicular = (x2 - 1)
Now,
sin θ =
tan θ =
