Answer

In triangle ABC,

By pythagoras theorem,

AC2 = AB2 + BC2

AC2 = 42 + 32

AC2 = 16 + 9

AC2 = 25

AC = 25\sqrt{25}

AC = 5 units

(i) sin A = perpendicularhypotenuse=BCAC=35\dfrac{\text{perpendicular}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \dfrac{BC}{AC} = \dfrac{3}{5}

(ii) cos A = basehypotenuse=ABAC=45\dfrac{\text{base}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \dfrac{AB}{AC} = \dfrac{4}{5}

(iii) cot A = baseperpendicular=ABBC=43\dfrac{\text{base}}{\text{perpendicular}} = \dfrac{AB}{BC} = \dfrac{4}{3}

(iv) sin C = perpendicularhypotenuse=ABAC=45\dfrac{\text{perpendicular}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \dfrac{AB}{AC} = \dfrac{4}{5}

(v) sec C = hypotenusebase=ACBC=53\dfrac{\text{hypotenuse}}{\text{base}} = \dfrac{AC}{BC} = \dfrac{5}{3}

(vi) tan C = perpendicularbase=ABBC=43\dfrac{\text{perpendicular}}{\text{base}} = \dfrac{AB}{BC} = \dfrac{4}{3}
